I've broken a world record of "Youngest to be hired to produce a TV commercial" at age 14, there have been several magazine articles written about me and my studio, and on my city's Wikipedia page, am on the list of "notable" people that grew up there. Now at 18, I'm an entrepreneur of my own production company, and I get the privilege of saying I've had clients that pay for me to fly across the country to film many weddings, numerous TV spots and corporate promos for hundreds of individuals, churches, and companies.

Though being an entrepreneur and cinematographer are two very large points of my life, since the age of 4, I’ve also been a musician.

To be more precise, a pianist. Playing classical crossover compositions on those wonderful 88 keys is definitely a great way to release stressful emotions from work and honestly mere life in general, while simultaneously exercising your entire brain and coordinating timed movements and rhythm throughout your body. I begin going crazy after a few days of being unable to play a keyboard, so perhaps my joy of playing is an addiction… but it’s the best kind there is.

I am so appreciative of the life I have, and only hope to bless others through my talents just as much as I've been blessed with them.
