I’m a little bit of a lot of things. I learned to write from my father and my older sister (both passed). I learned some degree of tenacity and a massive amount of patience from my mother. I love tech, music, nature, and traveling. I studied Music Performance, Music Education, and Business Administration at Loyola University New Orleans. I worked in fine dining food and beverage service for 11 years. I played drums in a band called The Crooked Vines from 2012-2018 (they continued on after I left, and you should check them out!) and helped write and record two albums with the aid of my friends in that group. I left the food and beverage industry to work in sales for a major telecom company, and have done very well with that in just a few years. I started a YouTube Channel called GROWNUP PAINS with the help and support of my wife, Kacie. I started this blog as a way to organize my thoughts and document the journey of creating an online community, and maybe even an e-commerce business. As of today I’m on a 971 day learning streak on Duolingo, learning Spanish to increase my reach in both business and travel. Hola, amigos! A mi me encanta escribir (I love to write).
