To let you know how far I’ve come, let me tell you where I’ve been.

Not that long ago, there were nights I went to sleep in strange places praying I wouldn’t wake up.

My thinking was clouded, and my talent was one day closer to being totally wasted.

Time goes by fast. Real fast. It has been just about a year since moving out to Huntington Beach, California and boy have I learned a lot–personally and professionally. Overcoming adversity has been something I’ve been used to growing up. Challenges motivate me and push me to go the extra [...]

The graduation ceremony/commencement was at 9:00 a.m. on December 12, 2009. We [business majors] and engineers were bundled together for the first morning slot of graduation in Mott Gym. [...]

The end of the Fall ’09 quarter here at Cal Poly is soon coming to an end. This means that I will be graduating! What’s this mean for my future? I’m not quite sure. My graduation ceremony is on December 12. A lot has been going through my mind [...]

As you can tell my whole site was deleted. My brother Glenn was trying to do something in FTP and “accidentally” deleted my database and all that great stuff.
