About Me

About Me

Hello! I’m a creative professional with a passion for blending art, technology, and hands-on craftsmanship. With a B.F.A. in Film and Video and a minor in Multimedia from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I’ve built a diverse background that has shaped my journey.

In the past, I’ve held roles in technical support and systems administration with companies like Amazon, Computer Concepts, and Cartersville City Schools. These experiences honed my technical skills and deepened my understanding of systems and user support.

I’ve also explored my creative side as a Lead Video Editor and Motion Graphics Artist for companies like Drivve and HallBrook Productions, where I edited and produced commercials that aired on networks.

Entrepreneurship is close to my heart. As the owner of OffBeat Boards & Bikes, I spearheaded projects from concept to completion, managed budgets, and cultivated relationships with local suppliers. This venture allowed me to combine my love for design, biking, and community engagement.

Now, I’m looking ahead to my next big goal: becoming the owner of Signscapes, a sign and graphics shop. My aim is to merge my technical expertise and creative vision to help others bring their ideas to life through unique and inspiring signage solutions.

Interests and Hobbies

Outside of my professional pursuits, I find freedom and inspiration on wheels. I’m an avid cyclist and skateboarder—whether it’s BMX, mountain biking, or road cycling, the thrill of the ride fuels my creativity. I also have a passion for working on Subaru boxer engines and am currently in the process of building one. The hands-on experience of crafting and engineering complements my love for creating with wood, vinyl, and metal. Film continues to be a significant interest, both as a medium for storytelling and as a source of inspiration.

Achievements and Aspirations

I’m proud to have mentored a high school student who gained admission to art school, sharing my knowledge and passion for the arts. Winning a sidewalk chalk competition in New York was a thrilling experience that showcased my artistic abilities in a public forum. Achieving certification as an Apple Macintosh desktop and laptop technician reflects my dedication to technical mastery.

My personal values include adaptability, fearlessness, professionalism, imagination, spirituality, creativity, leadership, thankfulness, mastery, vision, discovery, and happiness. I strive to embody these principles in all aspects of my life.

fearlessness, professionalism, imagination, spirituality, creativity, leadership, thankfulness!
