Marketing Chair

I am: 37

I get involved in my community through the following organization(s): Pick Group, CREW Inland Empire, CREW Inland Empire Foundation, Riverside Light Parade

My career goals are to: Grow my business while consulting individuals on how to build & maintain a strong professional online presence, helping them position themselves effectively in the ever changing digital space.

My professional motto is: Do good work for good people.

My advice to other YoPros is: You aren’t a tool of the government or any corporation, find something that you love doing & pursue it without being exploited or exploiting others.

When I’m not working or volunteering, you can find me: Fixing my car, helping my parents, cuddling my cat Dio, or spending time with my lovely wife & business partner Tiffany.

I joined PICK because: We all have a responsibility to engage with our community and try to leave a positive change for the people that come after us.

PICK is awesome because: It provides a chance to network in a low risk environment, we all need the opportunity to grow into the best civic leaders, employees, & business owners we can be.

I maximize my PICK membership by: Personalizing every event, flyer, video, & social media post to reflect how awesome all the hard working people in this organization are.

The issues in Riverside that I care about most are: I care most about cost of living, affordable housing, community engagement, access to art, music, education, & third spaces so that people can continue to live & work in California.
