Meet the Team
I grew up in the heart of Tucson, AZ and earned my B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Arizona. I knew I’d miss the Southwest vistas but I was ready to trade the dry desert for the Oregon lushness. I moved to the Northwest in 2003 to attend Pacific University’s College of Optometry. After spending the next four years soaking up the rain, culture, and craft beers I decided Portland was the perfect place for raising my family. I prefer to spend my free time roaming the forests, beaches, and mountains, riding bikes and snowboards, and practicing the ancient arts of Netflix, jumpshots, and graffiti.
Since Visualeyes opened in 2011 it’s been an incredible experience, and I see every day as an opportunity to learn how to enhance the quality of care our patients receive. Definitely the best part of my job is being able to meet new and interesting people and helping improve the way they see the world. Stop by anytime, I look forward to meeting you!

I transplanted to the amazing city of Portland in ’98. Although Houston raised me (shout out to my Beyoncé), PDX is where I love and now call my home. Great weather, people, beer, and food have kept me intrigued with this city.
Having always loved business, I started my first company while in college screen-printing t-shirts. After earning my BA in Business Management and Leadership at PSU, I worked as an Optician and developed my passion for the eyewear industry. In 2011 I co-founded Visualeyes on the same campus where I received my business degree.
When I’m not out changing lives one eye at a time, I’m constantly adding to my sneaker/toy collection, always getting photographed for the New York Times street style, and maintaining my title as the Connect Four reigning world champion.

Dedicated to patient-focused care in a profit-driven world
As more and more "private practices" get gobbled up and watered down by venture capital firms, our fiercely independent practice has the opportunity to create a vision clinic using our own ideas and unique vision. Drawing from Portland State's creative culture, our office has a distinct style, unlike any clinic currently operating. Our team strives to build a unique experience of modern professional eye care combined with highly fashionable eyewear. Our main goal is to provide a positive contribution not only to our community, but to all the communities of our patients. Come give your eyes a new perspective.
