Creative Statement

I am 25 years young, I live with my beautiful, and ever loving girlfriend and life partner Jenna Rodoni. I was raised in foster care and have no connections to any blood family. I have no knowledge of what or where I, or my family come from. I have made some pretty poor choices growing up, but my life today couldn't be better and I am blessed every day by the path that God has laid before me. I am currently the manager of Ace Hardware in Santa Cruz and I try my hardest to be fully involved in a program of complete abstinence of drugs and alcohol. I am obsessed with: The love of my life, skateboarding, art,...drawing and self expressionism and basically anything with pen and paper, Melodic heavy metal, playing piano, and anything that helps to keep me sober, honest and active. I am a huge video gamer, Halo mostly. I love movies and can "quote" whole movies pretty much....must come from what I think is a photographic memory. i love photography, Dragon ball z, fantasy art, sci-fi anything...the list goes on an on. I graduated from Soquel High class of 2006 and have had some college but mostly just working now. School is a must though in my mind. Having goals keeps me going and I would never give those up for the world.
