What is your favorite thing about working with Oceanside Glasstile? That's easy. The culture. I grew up in Hawaii and by nature I'm accustomed to a very laid back style of life. Oceanside has created a very casual work environment but you would be amazed at how much work this team will crank out. Further, the opportunities here are amazing, the executive team strongly believes in growing it's employees and I feel I am a true testament to that - I started as an Inside Sales and Support Representative, low and behold 8 years later, I've had the opportunity to help lead the marketing initiatives.
What are your favorite hobbies and interests? Travel. Surf. Food. Music. Art. Crafting. Photography. Experiences. Family + Friends.
Favorite Food? If there's Poke on the menu, I'm ordering it!
What is your favorite Oceanside glass tile? This is so hard. All these products spin my mind on the daily. If I had to pick I would go dimensional field pieces like Flight and Blink and easily the ocean color palette - Bondi, Tide, Sapphire, and Tourmaline.

Favorite Quote: “I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic." Charles de Lint
