I am: 33
I’m a young professional at: Kingmen Construction where we build water infrastructure projects.
I get involved in my community through the following organization(s): PICK Group and Riverside Meals on Wheels
I am a happy resident in the City of: Riverside
My career goals are to: Continue growing and learning in my career and to make a positive impact in my community
My professional motto is: You are only as good as your word.
My advice to other Young Pros is: Never stop learning and always push through times of uncomfortable growth.
When I’m not working or volunteering, you can find me: Cooking with my wife, teaching my little son about construction and football, doing home improvement projects, and cheering on the Chargers.
I joined PICK because: I wanted a peer group who would challenge me to become more involved in my community and who would also support my professional development.
PICK is awesome because: It creates lasting friendships and personal growth
I maximize my PICK membership by: Being involved in committees, graduating from the Board Development Training Program, and getting to know new members
The issues in Riverside that I care about most are: Stepping up as young professionals to support education and housing changes to ensure we better our city for others and our children.
