Growing up in a military family instilled in me a love for adventure and adaptability. Constantly on the move due to my father’s service in the U.S. Air Force, I learned the value of resilience and determination from an early age.
Initially drawn to the skies and fueled by my father’s dedication, I set my sights on becoming a fighter pilot. The excitement of being accepted into the Air Force was short-lived, however, as a knee injury sustained during my high school football days dashed my dreams. Despite this setback, I didn’t let it define me. Instead, I redirected my focus towards academia and eventually found my niche in the corporate world.
Throughout my career journey, I’ve worn many hats, from IT management at Walgreens to project management at IBM. But beyond my professional accomplishments, I find joy in a multitude of passions. From traveling and outdoor adventures to photography, writing, and playing the drums, I thrive on exploring new avenues of creativity and expression. I’m also an avid motorcycle rider and take pride in designing and building gaming PCs.
With over two decades of experience as a self-taught sound engineer, I’ve developed a keen eye for designing, troubleshooting, and operating professional sound systems. This passion for sound extends beyond the technical realm—I believe in the power of music and sound to connect people and create unforgettable experiences.
But perhaps what drives me most is my commitment to giving back to my community. I firmly believe that kindness and neighborliness are inherent virtues, and I’ve made it my mission to help others discover their own sense of fulfillment and purpose in life through acts of service.
