I obtained an associate's degree with honors from the music technology program at Foothill College in 2012. Thereafter, I turned my focus to historical studies and pursued a degree in history at the University of California - Berkeley. I obtained a Bachelor's degree with honors from the history department of UC Berkeley in 2016. As of now I intend to pursue higher education and a Ph.D. in history. I have worked with various professors from Foothill College in Los Altos, California, De Anza College in Cupertino, California, and UC Berkeley, as a teaching assistant and student reader. I still make music in my personal time as a passion and hobby, and I compose, perform, and record my own music in my home studio. I also intend to continue in my musical endeavors as time permits. Finally, I am a husband and father of three, and I enjoy spending my free time with my family and traveling when the opportunity arises.edit
