I was born in Fayetteville, NC just outside Ft Bragg. Yes, that makes me an Army brat. My father served our country for 28 proud years.
As a child of a service member, my family was very fortunate to travel the world. I lived in Saudi Arabia as a kid and over my life, I have been to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Russia, Germany, Italy Honduras, Panama and many more...Just ask me where I've been, love to talk about traveling!
I attended high school at Tampa Catholic where I played football for two ex-NFL players David Lewis and Parnell Dickinson. Theses were two influential people in my life, I put them right up close to my dad as major influences.
Following my Dad's footsteps, I joined the Armed Forces and enlisted in the Army as an Infantryman. I can say one thing about the Army, it made me grow up in a hurry!
I attended college at The University of Tampa where I studied film and photography receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. UT is a wonderful liberal arts college that is surrounded by history. If you haven't toured Plant Hall, I highly recommend taking the time to do so if you are ever in Tampa.
IADT is where I received an Associate of Arts in graphic design. I learned about print, online media and learned Adobe Suite, mainly Photoshop and Illustrator. This education gave me the ability to make items visually pleasing to the eye.
I owned a small t-shirt company where I printed Digital to Garment. I ran stores for artists that had designs that they would sell and I would print those designs on t-shirts for them.
I have run PCL a small limo company for a number of years. I schedule pickups/drop-offs, drivers, and payments. This business has allowed me the flexibility to pursue my dream of becoming a developer.
Looking for a change in my life I decided to attend SDG Bootcamp where I learned to become a full-stack Web Developer. This training, along with my previous design training, has positioned me as a rare commodity in the industry... some have called me a unicorn.
