A lifelong curiosity.

I’ve always been curious about how things work. As a kid, I took apart toys to see what was inside and asked plenty of questions along the way.

That curiosity stayed with me when I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. As a fire control technician working on the Phalanx close-in weapon system, I learned about electronics, electrical components, pneumatics, hydraulics, and radar. That hands-on experience deepened my love of learning and figuring out how the pieces fit together.

Today, I bring that same curiosity to my work at MortgageCouch, Inc., my involvement with the Ventura Downtown Lions, and my time sailing with Fairwind Yacht Club. I like asking questions, meeting people, and seeing things from another perspective.

I’m also an avid camper and enjoy multi-day white water adventures in California, Oregon, and Idaho. There’s something special about spending a few days outdoors, with time to enjoy the journey.

BEYOND THE EVERYDAY

A few stories along the way.

Some adventures, a few familiar faces, and a little fun. If a photo catches your eye, ask me about it—I’m always glad to share a story.

A few days, a river, and room to breathe.

I love multi-day white water adventures in California, Oregon, and Idaho. A little time outdoors always gives me something to appreciate—and a story to bring home.
