I grew up in Northern California and now live in Fresno, California with my wife and two children. I studied Spanish in high school and college. However, I learned to communicate in Spanish in a practical way by living in Spain for a year and living and working in East Los Angeles for a year working primarily with Spanish speaking people. My accent is quite thick, but my Spanish is proficient and I do consultations without the need of an interpreter. When I'm not working, I enjoying going to movies and watching Netflix with my wife, wrestling with my kids, watching my son skateboard, reading history and non-fiction, participating in my church, watching football, and complaining that we don't go to the beach enough.
