This is my amazing and beautiful wife, Ariel. Wow! We met in college and got married in 2019. She has a passion for social justice and helping underprivileged people. She now works at a high school in Hillsboro as an on-site therapist for kids and families. 

Shortly after moving back to Oregon, our little family grew as we adopted two little black cats, Pabu and Ollie. These sweet little ladies quickly made our apartment feel like home, even if they have a bad habit of eating our food.

Here is me and a former student at Stowell Learning Center, working through one of our programs. I loved getting to know my students and helping them along on their path. It was an unspoken goal of mine that each session my student would laugh, make a change, and feel loved and valued for who they are. 

Here is an obligatory hiking picture to prove that I'm outdoorsy. But in actuality I'm just as happy playing tabletop games inside, watching TV, or sitting with a book in a coffee shop.

This is a more typical picture that you would find of me. I rarely pose for serious pictures, and I often rebel with things of this nature. This was a picture taken for my college newspaper when I received the honor of being Artist of the Week during my senior year.
