Giovanni Dominguez

Born and raised in San Diego, CA. I moved to Oceanside when I was very small and have not moved since. I have been married for over ten years and have three lovely boys. Both of my parents were born and raised in Tonatico, Estado de Mexico.

I have been a hand-drawn artist all my life since I was a very small boy. I remember drawing hand-drawn birthday cards for my parents. I currently continue to create art but through a different medium which is photography. I love to take landscape photography and portraits. There is just so much peace and tranquility being out in nature and just taking in that sunset or that view of mountains. I find peace being with nature and it gives me time to pray. Some of my main hobbies are drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, videography, and playing soccer.

I have a very diverse educational background, I recently received my Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certificate, Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) & CPR/AED certification. I have also studied graphic design, and art & design to expand my creativity with my hobbies.

I previously just worked at the Mission San Luis Rey Retreat Center for four years. The last year at the mission I worked as a security guard while also helping out at the Retreat Center. Prior to working at the Mission San Luis Rey, I worked as the Purchasing Manager at the Five Star, Five Diamond Awarded, The Lodge at Torrey Pines Resort & Spa in La Jolla, CA. This resort sits right next to the world-famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, home of the annual Farmers Insurance Open and 2008, 2021 U.S. Open. Former President Barrack Obama & Donald Trump, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and many other professional athletes and celebrities have played at this famous golf course and have also stayed at The Lodge at Torrey Pines.
