About Me
While others mingle, I’m usually the introvert making best friends with someone’s dog.
I grew up with, and always loved dogs of all breeds, especially large ones — they've been a big part of my life.

Our Story
In 2020, my wife and I brought home Nova — our first dog together and my dream German Shepherd.
I thought I was prepared. I’d done the research. But balancing school, work, and a high-energy dog during a pandemic was more than I expected.
Despite early obedience success, I missed out on some key training, and made some mistakes. By the time I graduated from SJSU, Nova had developed serious behavioral issues — a mirror of my own lack of consistency and structure. That realization pushed me to take accountability and dive deep into the world of dog training. Reading, researching, practicing and learning from the best in the industry.
From Struggle to Calling
Training Nova changed my life. I found purpose in the process, but fear kept me from pursuing it professionally—even as others asked me to train their dogs.
Then, I received a wake-up call: a kidney cancer diagnosis. The fear of leaving my loved ones was overwhelming, especially leaving Nova behind to the fate of her own obedience.
In the months leading up to surgery, I poured everything into training her. She became my therapy, my peace, and my focus. My audiobook walks with her helped me more than she’ll ever know. And through that intentional training, I saw her transform into the Supernova I know today.
After a successful surgery and what felt like a second chance, I made a promise to turn my passion for dog training into a reality.
In 2025, I launched Supernova Dog Training — inspired by Nova and built on the belief that consistent structure, communication, and care can transform both dogs and people.

Each week, I volunteer with local shelter dogs — helping them build confidence and prepare for adoption through training and socialization.

I had Chester’s paw — my first dog — tattooed on my forearm a few months after we lost him. It’s both a tribute to his memory and a promise to be the best dog owner I can be for every pup that comes into my life.
