I was born in Lemoore and raised in Visalia. I graduated from Redwood High School where I played football, baseball and wrestled.  I went to UCSB to pursue a degree, and was a 3 year captain for the lacrosse team. I finished my formal education with a degree in business administration.  I worked my way through college in the restaurant business and came back to the valley to open my own restaurant in Lemoore.  As a member of the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department, I was a fireman and EMT for 5 years and absolutely loved being a part of that group of guys in that community.  I ran Jasper's Steakhouse in Lemoore for 9 years and sold it in June of 2006 to pursue my acting career. 

After starring in four indie films and bit parts on TV shows such as The Unit, NCIS, Bones, Invasion, Over There, etc., I received my real estate license and moved back home to host Valley Life.  With all my family and friends here it felt right to get back home where I belong!  I am pursuing my private pilot license, I have my personal training certificate, and am upgrading to a brokers license in real estate soon. 

If you don't catch me out mountain biking, surfing, water skiing, or running, it's probably cold and I am at Sierra Summit hitting the slopes.  I have a great family, incredible friends, and an old black lab named Murph.  I love spending time with my two amazing nieces, Kendra (8) and Hannah (6), whom are destined to be the next super stars of the soccer and dance worlds! 

And...Go Dogs!
