What I'm about?
My story
I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, where I also met my wife. After finishing our undergraduate degrees at UTEP, my wife and I journeyed to Houston, Austin, back to El Paso, and now San Francisco in pursuit of new adventures and career opportunities in tech. In between all that moving, I became a Rice Alumnus.
What I do now
Today I'm Co-Founder and CTO (whatever that means in a startup) at Ellis.

Jazz and synthwave… if you have an extra Dave Smith synth, I will gladly take it.
