Hello! I am originally from Eritrea and I have lived in Seattle, Washington for almost 17 years. I love helping others and working in the helping field is something I’m very passionate about.

Danny

I’m from Los Angeles, CA. My family and I moved to Washington in 2010 to find better jobs and opportunities. After high school, I worked retail but in 2017, I discovered the world of IT/AV. I’ve been passionate and eager to continue my exploration ever since – to gain knowledge and use it to move up to different opportunities. I’m humbled with all the blessings I’ve been given. For that, I am grateful. I speak English and Spanish.
