I was born in Fresno, California, and spent my childhood growing up throughout the surrounding Central Valley with my two siblings. Just before my junior year of high school, life took our family to Overland Park, Kansas—a move that introduced me to two lifelong loves: authentic Kansas City BBQ and cheering on the Royals. In 2013, I was fortunate enough to return home to California. Coming back gave me one of the greatest gifts of my life: the opportunity to reconnect with my forever best friend—my Grandma. We spent countless hours talking about our family, our history, and the generations that came before us. The stories she shared are treasures I will carry with me forever and have shaped the appreciation I have for where I come from. It was also in Northern California that I met the one person who completely stopped me in my tracks—Angela. From the very beginning, there was something extraordinary about her. She’s funny, hardworking, family-oriented, honest, incredibly kind, and the type of person who effortlessly lights up every room she walks into. She truly is one of a kind. For more than eight wonderful years, we’ve been blessed to build a beautiful life together with our little family—a life filled with laughter, unconditional love, and unforgettable memories. And on October 10, 2026, at 5:13 p.m., I have the incredible honor of marrying the love of my life. It’s the beginning of our next chapter, and I couldn’t imagine spending it with anyone else.
