Projects
"I Said Theatre!" Principal and Co-Founder 2003-2005 (two years) "I Said Theatre!" was a small theatre company founded in 2003 by myself and 4 others. The company of 5 completely produced two plays (one self-written) in the span of two years, doing everything from stage building to advertising to the actual acting and directing. Both productions were overwhelming success stories, with the company actually making a profit
President and Founder at Homoto Motorcycle Club July 2009 to December 2011 President January 2012 present Webmaster/IT Homoto is a sportbike focused motorcycle club based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With two chapters, the club has grown in less than three years to nearly 100 dues paying members. In 2010 the club won "Best New Organization" at the Bay Area Leather Alliance's Community Awards Banquet and has been asked by several community organizations to lead events. The focus of the club is on safety and camaraderie and holds seven monthly rides, periodic seminars and has a program for mentoring new riders. Each year the club has several overnight trips lasting for 2-12 nights in various locations around the country. It also organized, promoted and executed a yearly gathering of motorcyclists in Oakhurst, California this year attended by nearly 100. Homoto has also developed and executed several fundraising campaigns for organizations in the area, raising needed money for San Francisco City College, The San Francisco AIDS Foundation, among others. Seeing a need, I was the initial founder of the club and served as President until December 2011. It was at this time that the current board proposed, voted and passed a resolution amending the bylaws to make me a permanent board member of the club.
