About

Music Production

I love writing & recording music for myself and others!

Graduating with an A.S. from Full Sail University taught me a lot, but I learned the most from applying my knowledge in the field. Working as a booking agent & professional DJ allowed me to gain a unique perspective of what it's like to be on the stage and behind the scenes.

Art & Design

Digital Art is one of my greatest passions.

I've designed projects using tools like Figma, the Adobe Creative Suite and Canva. I've educated artists about blockchain technology while connecting them with non-profit charity organizations.

Video & Photo

Our world is powered by images.

Video editing has become a creative way for me to tell my stories. I've created music videos for my original songs along with photographing unique experiences like Art Basel Miami.

Web Dev Timeline

A brief history of how I got started.

I fell in love with technology at a very early age.

My best childhood friend had a Dell desktop computer we would stay up all night learning how to use.

We quickly got up to speed by creating our first CLI program "BERSERK.BAT" (an infinite loop we tricked our parents into using.)

Satisfied with our new status as "hackers" we went on to explore the new world of Windows & OSX GUIs...
