I first realized that I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry in my last year of the military. I had always been interested in art but I was never really sure which field until I started school for visual effects and found modeling and texturing.

I've known for a long time I would follow a creative field. I wanted to be an actor since the second grade and was on YouTube when I was in high school managing to amass a small following and work with much bigger creators. I realized that I wanted the opportunity to be behind creating experiences for people they can escape into that were deeper than YouTube, such as film and video games.

I love it. I make and play around creative stuffs since I was a kid.

I've always had a passion for drawing. I started traditionally and then moved to digital, and when I started playing video games as a kid, I knew I wanted to create amazing stories with even better visuals.

Ever since I can remember, I've bonded with my dad over movies and TV shows. My favorite memories are going to Blockbuster with my dad on the weekends, getting a pizza pie to-go from next door restaurant, and going home to watch a new flick we picked up. I have always seen movies as an escape from reality, to me it's the best form of art. I've always wanted to work in the industry, I just never believed it was realistic. I finally did my research and learned it's 100% possible.

I've loved watching movies and playing video games all of my life. However, I practically grew up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and those films really made me want to get into the creative/entertainment industry.
