About me:
^these are photos I have taken^
I am the Sports Info Photographer for Pasadena's Lancers (part-time) - as part of a student worker program while I go for an Associate in Arts degree with Journalism.
During my early years I played baseball several seasons, earning a Sportsmanship trophy in my final season. Also I went through a full boy scouts program. After going through the pain of a late football tryout at CV high I decided I could not commit to playing on the Falcons football team. Besides photography my main interesting is motorsports as I went through 3 racing schools but could not find any sponsors to race at Irwindale.
In 2005 I first started taking sports photos with a little Sony cam, now I own pro quality equipment. Missing some great moments here and there I have learned my lesson to be ready to capture anything at anywhere and anytime.
In 2004 I biked the LA Bike Tour after previously training for the LA Marathon with a major leg muscle injury, I returned in 2005 to finish the LA Marathon XX, with honors of being in a Saucony 26 group of inspirational stories.
I've been all over California from San Diego to Sacramento. Staying with PCC for their journalism program and my oppurtunities, I know drive 44 miles each way everyday from home. When I began taking classes at PCC I lived in La Crescenta. Starting high school in CV 01-02 I made a lot of mistakes and took other options out.
Being part of the college newspaper and having other sources before I was even on it I've had the experience of going to all sorts of pro sports including, AVP Volleyball, MLB, MLS, NASCAR, NFL, and Swimming. Many of the AVP stars recognize me the most. Besides Misty May & Kerri Walsh, I've met other olympic gold medalists including swimmer Michael Phelps.
After spending this past winter in Oklahoma I feel like I have a better tolerance for cold weather as I was out and about in weather down to 15 degrees, even getting ice cream one night during a football game.

lol, I don't think you hate economics for being more of a math class than not being as much about money as you'd think it'd be...know the stuff is dry as hell but the stuff is some pretty good knowledge to have even if you don't become an economist....
