Where are you from?

I was born in Subic Bay, Philippines, briefly lived in Guam and grew up in Fallon, NV during my formative high school years.

Why did you become a hairdresser?

I used worked in the graphic design industry, the last thing I wanted to do was sit in front of another computer monitor, so I took the advice of a mentor and shifted my energies to working with my hands, to interact and connect with people, to maintain artistic integrity, and to live passionately in pursuit of an industry I love.

What is your greatest accomplishment in this industry?

Getting to work with some of the greatest people on a daily basis. And not getting mauled by bears. I know that's two great accomplishments but the second one listed is HUGE!

Random or weird fact about yourself?

I have milk and cookies every night before going to bed. Every. Single. Night
