Always wanting to live in Southern California, he attended Cal State Fullerton where he majored in finance. It was through greek life that he found his passion for photography. After graduating, he moved out of his apartment and traveled Europe solo for 3 months. It was on this trip that he began to find love for writing as he was journaling daily. Returning back to SoCal, he worked at a mortgage company for 16 months, writing part-time on the side.
