About Me

The earliest of my memories were of the Philippines. The smell of clothes, chocolate milk from a bottle. The sounds of someone preparing breakfast. The scratch of a pencil, or a brush being twirled in a cup. In the distance you could hear the rattle of chains, the dropping of tools, and the hum of an engine. I was among the working class, educators, engineers, and artisans. These were my role models.

A kid from Queens, New York, with a lot of heart. Tinkerer. Jack of all trades; master of none.


I was named John, with the nickname Jack in reference to the child name of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. My grandparents believed in hard work and the pursuit of ideas. This is what the fundamentals were for my parents when they raised me. I picked up my first pencil with my left hand, and despite being taught in a right-handed world I became someone who had a vision, an artistic view of the future. Anything that I could put onto paper became my reality.

Technology was something that met me later in my adulthood. I grew up in a time that didn't really need it. The first console was a hand me down Atari 2600 that I played at my grandparents and I was hooked ever since. I was more about learning how it worked. With that came my purpose in life, to figure out how things worked or to find out why something isn't working. This carried throughout my profession and my day to day life. Who am I? A kid from Queens, New York, with a lot of heart. Tinkerer. Jack of all trades; master of none.
