My Story
Growing up in Wisconsin gave me an appreciation for the outdoors that still runs deep. When I'm not behind a screen, you'll find me out on a kayak, camping under the stars, or hitting the bike trails. There's something about disconnecting in nature that makes the creative work even better when I return.
My entrepreneurial journey started early. I've launched several small businesses over the years—from designing and selling t-shirts to building websites for local businesses, even running a CNC manufacturing operation. Today, I'm building a legal SaaS platform working with personal injury attorneys. Each venture taught me something new about solving real problems with creativity and technology.
I've been fortunate to live abroad in both New Zealand and Costa Rica—experiences that broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for different cultures and ways of life.
Technology never ceases to amaze me. If I'm not out on the trails, I'm at my computer consuming every new tool and skillset I can find, or building something that caught my curiosity. I'm incredibly grateful that I get to create an income doing what I genuinely love every single day.
Beyond Work
What Drives Me
Videography & Editing
While I love being on set and directing productions, the story truly comes to life for me in the edit bay. Editing is where the magic happens—it's one of my greatest passions.
Film Analysis
I'm a huge movie buff who can't help but dissect shots and visual effects as much as the story. I just have to know how something works—it's in my nature.
Music
Playing guitar is my way of unplugging from the digital world. There's something timeless about making music with your hands.
Outdoor Adventures
Camping, kayaking, and biking keep me grounded. Wisconsin gave me a love for the outdoors that I carry with me wherever I go.
Continuous Learning
Technology never stops evolving, and neither do I. I'm constantly consuming new tools, frameworks, and skills—always building, always learning.
Faith
I'm a Christian who takes my faith seriously. My love for God shapes how I approach my work, my relationships, and my life. I'm always happy to share about Jesus with anyone interested.
