All About Me

This is my first blog post, and it's all about me!

I was born and raised in the wonderful city of Stockton, CA where I lived with my mom, sister and brother.

When I graduated from high school I quickly moved to San Francisco to escape the reality of living in the valley my entire life, and to also go to school at SF City College where I obtained my AA degree.

I consider myself a jack of all trades who tends to like anything that has a gas powered engine to geeky technology gadgets.

Currenty I'm employed at a website design company in Dublin, CA where I work part time while I complete my advertising degree at San Jose State University.

When I'm not in the office, or at school, you can find me jumping my motocross bike, skimboarding, riding jet skis, or digging through music at your local record store.

In addition to being active outside, I'm also the owner of a rap music record label which has released five albums over the years containing tracks from local artists all around the Bay Area.

After releasing several rap albums I started a website called Rap Music Guide (www.rapmusicguide.com) which is an online encyclopedia dedicated to the most rare, hard to find, and out of print rap & hip-hop albums in existence.

From CDs, to cassette tapes & 12" vinyl records, Rap Music Guide showcases the most album information in one place allowing you to search by artist, album name, track name, city, state, area code and by barcode.

As president & founder of Rap Music Guide I'm solely responsible for the content, editorial management and direction of one of the most widely read rap & hip-hop music websites in the world.

In order to pay for hosting fees I sell advertising in the form of graphic banners in several different sizes.

Since I sell advertising on my website I figured that I would major in it at San Jose State University.
