Nice to meet you! I’m a self-made entrepreneur who loves to create.
I was born in South America and arrived here in the United States at 8 months old—I was just a little ’empanada’, as I like to say ;). I grew up in a small town of only 7,000 residents in the middle of central California—a place where farmers, ranchers, and oil rigs reigned.
I would love to stay I become an entrepreneur because of my desire to be self-sufficient however, the truth is, I chose to start my own creative business because after graduating college I spent 6+ months trying to find work and all efforts proved fruitless. I needed to work to support myself, so I decided to work for myself. In order to hold me over until I could get on my feet, I found a full-time job, gave myself a year deadline, saved up my money. On July 3rd, 2003 I was able to leave my job and start my own business full-time and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
It’s been a long road. To be frank, it’s been full of mistakes, lessons, and learned humility, however it is one I would choose again and again. Now my goal is to help others, like myself, find and pave their own road by helping them create brands with impact, poise, and purpose.

Some Extra Fun Facts


Our Love of Dogs
I am very fortunate to have been raised and live in a culture that holds these beautiful beings in high regard. Not only are dogs celebrated here in the U.S.A. for just being so darn cute, they are celebrated because they ARE family. Entire industries are currently being built around our pets and I am so pleased to see this come to fruition, since many organizations and/or businesses are created with helping people by and through the means of utilizing the amazing love and temperament of our dogs.
Simply put, as a Christian, I believe that all living creatures are a Biblical act of delight and love created by God as well as created for us. This of course includes all animals; namely dogs. I also strongly believe that dogs and all animals alike, are sentient beings and have an important place here in this realm, in which God Himself has ordained.
Last but certainly not least, I believe that ALL dogs go to heaven. This goes for all animals. (Will I See My Dog In Heaven? by Jack Wintz)
