….with my wife in our back yard either swimming in the pool, chilling in a hammock under palm trees or hanging out by the firepit. You might also find me grilling something tasty, mowing the lawn or chipping practice golf balls on the grass. Before Covid you could often find Catherine and me riding our electric bikes to the beach or at one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Oceanside. If you can't find me any of these places, check the office. You should always check the office.

Committed. I’ve been with UMI for almost 10 years. I would say that’s commitment!

Rotini/Fuscili. And I’m gonna be real with you, it’s probably a bit big to be the most fitting noodle for little me but it’s my favorite one so I’m sticking to my guns. It’s kind of weird (like me) kind of wiggly and spring-y (like me) and has great sauce retention (like…me?)

Account Coordinator
My high school band had a single quote from the 1926 book The Story of Philosophy that became a life-long mantra in regards to bringing excellence into all that one does in life, and this is very much applicable at UMI as well: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”

The Spongebob Kraft macaroni pasta… Or any “themed” Kraft macaroni pasta for that matter, because the noodles are just more fun and out-of-the-ordinary.
Platform Development Coordinator
Integrity. Throughout my professional career and personal life, I have always found that honesty is the absolute best policy. To be transparent of potential issues, communicating to those around me, even if it leads to consequences. To be thorough in my respect and thoughtfulness in others. To think outside of myself on how actions and deeds might change the life, or day to day of those around me. To mind carefully my impact, and genuinely care for others.
A quote that has always resonated with me is “I am as Caesar, Ambitious “ while it is not a direct quote from Mark Antony’s monologue from Julius Caesar, I feel it would sum up the mans outlook on life quite well. The difference between, for me, is that ambition is not always placed in vying of position over someone else. But the internal ambition to always improve and move forward. The ambition to be better, learn more, do better, and bring those up around me.
I absolutely identify as Manicotti, very specific use, but can be filled with anything if you are creative enough. Ricotta and spinach? Sure. Mushrooms and bechamel? Done! Sweet stuff? I wouldn’t, but maybe you can make it work.
My spirit animal is a penguin.

“I have come into this world as a light so that no one who believes in me shall stay in darkness"
I was pretty sure I'd be an author when I grew up.
Customer Care Coordinator
Passionate. Without passion in any endeavor, the results of the endeavor are meaningless. Care, consideration, and drive for the commitment of your teammates and clients alike can only be achieved through passion. Without passion there is no pride. With no pride there’s no room for any of the other core values we hold in such high regard. Machines can be innovative, excellent, committed and operate with integrity, but only people can be passionate.
“The true master is an eternal student.”-Master Yi
DOCTOR when I grew up. My naturally shaky hands ended those career prospects early!
