I am a passionate, motivated individual that loves all things media and will continue to express my self artistically.

I first realized my passion for drawing when I would sit in class and doodle constantly while trying to pay attention to the teacher. My Junior and Senior year in High school I attended the Elkhart career center for Advertising Design and quickly realized that this habit could turn into a career. After graduating I decided to go another rout and fell in love with the Music Business. This allowed me to move down to Orlando Florida and learn the ins and outs of the music industry. I graduated from Full Sail University with my Associates degree in recording arts and my Bachelors degree in music business. I love all types of music but my favorite genres are Hip-Hop and Rock. I do listen to some Country but that is due to my mother forcing it upon me, and I love her for it. I spend most of my spare time on my turntables trying to get better as a mixer and beat matcher. I do make my own beats when I have the time but this mostly includes using MIDI and programs such as Pro-Tools and Logic.

I grew up in South Bend Indiana or Notre Dame country for some people, and have been living there for most of my life. When people ask me if I like Notre Dame I just shrug and say “Ehh, they're alright.” My favorite sports include Football, Baseball, and Basketball. My favorite college is Florida State and my favorite NFL team has to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I grew up playing all types of sports and won the Indiana state championship in baseball four times before I turned fifteen. My family and friends are what drive me to be a better person and individual. I have two nephews and one niece that always brighten my day and make me love being an uncle. I love warm weather, snowboarding, baseball season, summertime, and hanging out on my lake in Michigan.
