Share one fun fact that members might not know about you: When I was 14, I was fortunate enough to travel to D.C for a chess tournament / service trip. When I arrived, I fell in love with this city and vowed I would return and live in the D.C metro area. Fast forward 8 years, I got my first job here and I’ve been living and working here ever since. I chose D.C because of the strong connection I had with the city as a youth and will forever cherish all my memories I’ve made in this area.

Favorite educational event you attended and why: WBC craftmanship judging / awards ceremony. As a student of the school of construction, I get to learn so much from the builders, architects, engineers, subcontractors and developers that make it happen. I learn about spectacular projects that employs some of the greatest craftsmen in the U.S and I always take away something I can utilize on my projects or lessons learned that further my growth.
