About Me

My origins start here in Vegas, but I spent half of my life living and traveling abroad. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 2 years, and Jordan for about 5 years. While living in the Middle East I visited Egypt, Israel, and Palestine amongst other places.

Having lived abroad, I like to think I am multi-cultured and have a competitive edge when it comes to communication skills because of all the cultures that have shaped who I am today.
