My name is Andre and I'm your returning YCP Technologist. I was born and raised in Riverside and work in Orange County. I discovered YCP a few years ago and I loved it from day 1! It's the perfect blend of faith and worth and a great to way to meet like-minded Catholic professionals in Orange County. I am a bridge designer by training and I lead a small design team here in the OC. My hobbies include photography, movies and spending time in the great outdoors. Looking forward to a successful YCP 2021!

 I'm the kind of person who loves to hear people's stories, their lives, striking up a conversation with someone  and allowing them to share a piece of themselves.  What attracted me to YCP was the moments of fellowship among young adults and mentors, when you can see God's grace in those around you.  I could say more, but instead, as the 2022 President of the OC Chapter, let me invite you to an experience of learning from each other, seeing God's presence within the other and Working in Witness for Christ together!

I joined YCP for the community of like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ, how to grow my faith in the workplace, and being the hands and feet of Jesus!

I joined YCP because like Saint Jose Maria Escriva I desire to help others turn their work and ordinary lives into extraordinary means of sanctity. I believe that like the parable of the good steward to whom much was given and to whom much was rewarded we too should use our many talents to build up the kingdom of God and the salvation of souls
