He earned his BA and teaching credential from CSULB and MA from CSUDH. He has started a Doctorate program this in Educational Psychology at USC with a focus on what keeps boys of colors motivated to be the best version of themselves.

Since then he’s been back another time and has also been to the Dominican Republic to serve at an orphanage, he’s been to New Orleans to help rebuild homes 10 years after Hurricane Katrina, and continues serving his community here at home. His motto is Live Life and Inspire and loves how others who see his way of living get inspired to also serve those in need and be the best version of themselves.
