About Me

I am in my last semester of college at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I am studying business management in the Marriott School of Management with a Spanish minor.
I am interested in pursuing a career in Marketing, especially something to do with Social Media Marketing. Marketing is my passion. I am currently working as a contract employee promoting both an up-and-coming singer/songwriter named Lindsay Aline, and FundingUniverse, a company that connects entrepreneurs with qualified investors.
My wife and I are planning on moving to Oahu, Hawaii after I graduate in April. We have been planning this move ever since we met each other in Laie, Hawaii Summer 2007. We are positive it is where we are supposed to start our post-grad lives together. I would love any information anyone has on internship or job opportunities in marketing, public relations, or the entertainment industry on Oahu.
