THEN.
OWNER, OASIS POSTAL PLUS
In 2011 I took equal-partnership of a local office supply and printing store (Oasis Postal Plus) in Yucca Valley, CA. For over eleven years we provided a much needed service to my community and staff. This was an invaluable time where I learned graphic design and printing and made meaningful relationships with local businesses, artists, and organizations.
BUILDING INDUSTRY
In 1998 I started as a CAD Drafter at a civil engineering firm in Phoenix, Arizona. My innate passion for architecture and construction lead me to move onto more diverse skillsets. In 2003 I partnered with a private developer on a multitude of new construction and renovation projects in the Mojave Desert of California. My repertoire includes high-end custom homes, multi-family and commercial projects. I was involved in every aspect of the project, from land acquisition to design, construction, marketing, sales, and property management.
Home
Joshua Tree, California is most known around the world for it's National Park, U2 Album, and maybe Gram Parson's death in 1973...
I know it as the place I've called home since 2003, where I learned to get back to basics, and woke me up to the importance of community and small businesses.
