About me:

Hailing from Cerritos, CA (all day!), 1st got involved in this hip-hop culture back in the day as a b-boy and then DJ in middle school. Originally mentored by founding members of the Beat Junkies and Mixwell, since been involved in record & event promo, college radio & TV, DJ'ing @ clubs throughout Southern Cali, and opening for acts like Jurassic 5 and OutKast. Big ups 2 the Icon Events fam in LA, and 21XL eventsco. in SD!

Aside from spinning, traveled around the country and Asia to teach and speak about education Asian Americans hip-hop culture. Experience as an organizer began @ UC San Diego, with an emphasis on working with communities of color. After earning Masters and teaching credential @ UCLA, came to focus life's work on education and putting revolutionary theory into practice as a teacher (ala KRS-1) in Chinatown, Los Angeles with the infamous LAUSD.

Presently a Ph.D. candidate in education @ UCLA, active in various community and social justice organizations, coordinating the Mentee Mentor Project, volunteer coaching the Chinatown Ballerz b-ball team, and studying kungfu (Choy Li Fut): rest in peace Sifu Wong. Much love goes out to the youth & students worked with: The Sensational Students, MSLI 2005, Chinatown Ballerz aka CTB, SEACA, ED 130, ED 194A-B-C, Chinatown Kung Fu & Lion Dance Troupe, and Mentee & Mentor Project!!!

What's good Ultraman?

Glad to hear Methodology is back in full force :)

This might be a stretch, but any connects with the blue scholars? I advise Barkada at Santa Clara University and they're trying to get them to perform. Any thoughts, help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks bro!
