I've lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm married to a beautiful woman named Rikki and have three children named Josh, Samantha, and Brandon. I have a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from California University at Long Beach, and a master's degree in Education from Walden University. I used to work in an oil refinery. It was smelly, dirty, and very oily but I liked it. I've also done research at USC. My hobbies include woodworking, mechanical watches, and mechanical puzzles.
