About Me
Hey everyone, thanks for exploring my site!
I’m from Fresno, CA but have lived in Austin nearly 15 years. After completing an MBA focused on operations management, I moved here for a business manager job at a local high school. I left a few years later to pursue a dream of starting an international hostel, which opened in 2012. That led to the adventure of opening and running several local businesses including two hostels, two bars, a tour company, a catering service, and a small metal and wood fabrication shop. I am presently a managing partner at Firehouse Hostel and Lounge.
I recently completed a UT program focused on data analysis and visualization, where I learned to use various coding languages and other tools including Python, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, Tableau, etc. We even dabbled a bit in big data and machine learning. I’m very excited to put this new skill set to use in various ways.
My current interests include gardening, baking bread, small-scale woodworking, experimenting with Mestastic LoRa radios, and studying ways to build stronger community resilience.
I co-parent two amazing boys that keep me on my toes.
Reach out with any ideas for collaboration!
