His interdisciplinary work touches on the intersections of race, culture, public policy, history, erasure and radical politics in Los Angeles and Hollywood in particular. Currently he is an MA candidate at California State University Los Angeles, whose work looks at the intersection of radical organic community organized spaces and the erasure imposed on these spaces by neoliberal policies in Hollywood. Additionally, he is an avid traveler of the city at night, who can largely be found plying the wears of the obscure, in a neighborhood that is willing to offer.
