My Family – the heart and reason for my personal and professional success. Melissa, my wife for ten years and a California native has been in the medical industry for nearly two decades. She is currently employed with Tucson Medical Center as a Business Development Liaison for almost a decade. We first met in late 2009 when I was with the Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce. Melissa comes from a large family, many of which still live in California but also Tucson. We had our daughter, Valentina, in the fall of 2014. She is now 7-years old and is best defined as full-of-life. If you catch Valentina not smiling, you know she is having a “bad” moment. Recently, we had been traveling to Disneyland as season pass-holders. During some of our free time, you find us at the movies, the park, or the University of Arizona sporting events (#beardown).
