Well I really am not one to write about himself but I'll give it a shoot. I was born In San Jose, Costa Rica on January 10th 1978. I was raised between Costa Rica and Miami Florida. I have always felt to have experienced the best of both worlds. ( latin, USA. ) I have yet to experience europe. Growing up in Miami is pretty wild. You tend to star having alot of fun at a young age. Which has its ups and downs . Since I was 5 years old I already knew that my passion in life was Art. I studied at The New World school of the Arts and then at Maryland Institute college of Art. The oldest painting school in the U.S. I have won numerous awards and exhibited all through the US and central america.
One on my other huge passions in life is Music. My grandmother was a prodigy pianist, and my grandfather was the director at the National Theater in C.R.. This is where they meet.My great grandfather was the vice president, and president of Costa Rica. He also funded there national bank, partially by donating a bunch of gold from the Inkas. My Father well, God Bless his soul. He passed away this last December. My mother is my Angel, my best freind, she has played a major key in my life. No brothers no sisters, Wait! I do now have a little 3 year old half brother, by the name of Derik. My father had another son, his pics are in the gallery. he now lives in Costa Rica. Anyways there are my roots. Anyways...Music, I love playing percussion. Drums. Give me anything and I can jam to it! Dancing I love to move and dance. Lets see if you can keep up :)
What else... I have a few surfing sponcers, they've helped alot over the pass few years guess I should give them a shoot out.

Last week state Rep. Wayne
Christian pulled a sly move in the legislature and created an exception
to the Texas Open Beaches Act that allows him and his neighbors on
Bolivar Peninsula to build houses on the PUBLIC BEACH.
This is bad news.
We have a campaign to convince Texas Governor Rick Perry to veto this bad bill.
This is very simple and your email could make the difference.
All you have to do is send an email---
to: greg.davidson@governor.state.tx.us
subject: Veto HB770
text: "Governor Perry, please veto HB770"
Please do it now. Your email is the one that will make the difference.
