Portraits of the Valley

Raised in Monterey Park/East Los Angeles and went to public school k-12. I was raised in a small, loving family of four, two parents, two children brought up primarily in the suburbs and knew that we wanted to get further education. Both myself and my brother attended Cal State University of Northridge and graduated. I finished in Business, my brother in engineering. I have always known that Entrepreneurship was my calling; I am risking everything to start with this small business in hopes of being recognized as one of Los Angeles’ business leaders in the industry. --Voyage LA
