I grew up a Navy brat (father) between northern California in my early age and moving to Bremerton at a young age. Always had a passion for sports, family, friends and music.

I left home at 17 and moved to Seattle with my brother, where I attended North Seattle Community College, working nights at Red Robin to pay for rent and school.

I was accepted to University of Washington in 2000 with a major in Sociology, where I also found passion for GIS and Urban Planning, which I was interested in immediately.  The social engineering of cities and the use/history of zoning fascinated me and still does today.

After graduating UW with honors in 2003 with a double major in Sociology and Community and Environmental Planning.  I interned with the City of Seattle starting in 2001 until I was eventually offered a full time job in 2003. I worked at DCLU/DPD for the next 12 years reviewing everything I could get my hands on from Single Family housing to downtown high-rises. I also changed disciplines in 2005 to learn the skill of discretionary Land Use decision making, including Short Plats, Design Review, Conditional uses, Full Subdivisions and SEPA. I also served as SPU’s designated planner, designated specifically to review their capital projects for a number of years. I moved back to zoning review around 2010 to become a Senior Planner. In 2015, I left the City for a change and to follow my desire to learn the private side of development, moving to Blueprint. At Blueprint, I focus on project feasibility, future code/policy’s effect on future projects and managing our architects along with the permit process to obtain permits to residential construction to serve our builders. My boss, Dan Duffus, was connected to Habitat for Humanity and wanted to help meet their goal of developing more in Seattle.  At the time Habitat was only in contract to develop the upcoming 16 townhouse units in Lake City. I believe I started getting involved with Habitat in 2017 and it started with the Lake City project and now I have been a member of the Real Estate Recommendation Committee since 2019, working with the team to offer professional assistance or references to build more units to help more people in need.  I have always wanted to give back and with Habitat, I can use my skills and connections to further Habitat’s mission. It really boils down to that feeling of home and giving hope to people/families that need and deserve it. I am honored to be a part of such a great and honorable organization that literally makes dreams come true. I currently live in Green Lake, with my wife Kim and our two boys Diego and Cruz.
