“I was born in Los Angeles on July 16, 1987. I grew up in Southern California, specifically in a small city called Diamond Bar. I went to college in San Francisco and lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for close to 8 years after graduating. In Hawaii, my professional career began in politics with the Honolulu City Council and then the Hawaii State Senate. I also adopted my now 14-year old dog, Grady, while I lived in Hawaii. Some of my hobbies include writing short stories or short screenplays, playing in a flag football league with my friends, and hiking. In my spare time, I am almost always with my family. I am extremely close to my three nieces (ages 13, 11, and 6) and two nephews (ages 5 & 4). If you like Marvel Comics, we can be friends. But if you like DC Comics, then we can really kick it.”
