Professional Info:

I am a former food service professional. I worked as the head service trainer and Top server for Stefano's Trattoria for 10+ years. I enjoy providing people with things that they need! Due to Covid-19, I have made a dynamic shift in my professional goals and ambition. I have re-directed and devoted myself to learning more about the art of software development and design. Everything I do now is to try and learn where these new skills and languages are leading me in order to be of maximum benefit to God and my fellow humans. Wish me well in my journey to produce a beneficial outcome and help others while providing for my family.

Gold's Gym. Fitness Instructor/Nutrition Specialist ​ 2000 - 2010

​After the Marine Corps I felt I had a responsibility to pass on my knowledge, experience and passion for treating our bodies the right way. It was the best way for me to give back what I had received from them by way of encouragement and teaching. It was a great experience for me to grow.
