A typical day in my life includes…

a lot of work and the nightly routine of playing Barbies vs. Zombies with my niece and nephew. 

I was born…

in Prescott, Arizona.

My favorite thing about Arizona…

is that we are just hours away from snow-filled mountains and white sandy beaches. 

I’m listening to…

“Gotta Make It” by Trey Songz. 

My family…

is my most prized treasure. 

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

Bill Gates because I want to know why he started Microsoft.

One thing I cannot live without…

my mom’s food. She makes the best tamales hands down. 

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

a professional basketball player. 

I’m inspired by…

hope. Hope is the only thing we have in a world of uncertainty. 

The one person who motivates me is…

I know it says one but it would have to be my parents. They are the hardest working individuals I have ever met. 

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…

the world we live in today because our goals are driven by personal gain vs. social empowerment and I truly believe that holds us back from reaching our apex as humankind. 

The perfect day would be…

cooking food with my entire family at my grandparent’s ranch in Mexico. 

My first job was…

Harkins Theater when I was 15. 

My favorite escape…

shooting hoops at the park. 

My life…

is a series of days all mixed into one, striving toward one goal- success. 

I’m currently working on…

building the largest family-owned glass recycling company in the nation. 

Always…

work harder than your competition. 

Never…

give up. The day you give up is the day you will finally breakthrough. 

Favorite Quote…

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison 

Biggest Dream…

is to be written about in history books for making a positive impact on society. 

My Pet Peeve(s)…

expectation.
