I was born and raised in Los Banos California. A small farming community located in the Central Valley, where my father raised and trained retrievers. As a multi sport athlete and avid outdoorsman, I have always enjoyed being outdoors. I began my career as a Landman in the oil and gas industry at the young age of 21 where my entrepreneurial spirit led me away from the game of baseball, a game I loved so much. After spending many years traveling the United States I landed in Bakersfield approximately 18 years ago. In 2012 I continued my path in the industry and started my own production and contracting business. These days I devote my time to my family, my business, Black Gold Baseball and most importantly, Christ. 🙏🏻
