Q: What do you love about working in the IE?

A: I love being central to so many great places such as Palm Springs, Laguna Beach, and the San Bernardino Mountains. The people of the Inland Empire are passionate and work hard to make the community a better place! There are a lot of talented artists, entertainers, restauranteurs and entrepreneurs who are changing the cultural fabric of the Inland Empire for the better.

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A: I love to rock climb at FlowStone, hang out with my family, go to IE Vegan Sundays or the Tuesday Farmer's Market in Downtown San Bernardino and plenty of traveling. I also love to play indie video games with my friends.

Q: What is your go-to tea or coffee order?

A: Either an Oolong Black Milk Tea from Viva La Boba or an Abuelita Cold Brew.

Q: What is your favorite local restaurant?

A: I am a big fan of Rui's Shanghai Bistro in Redlands, CA. Try the cumin lamb or the basil spicy eggplant.
