Early Life
I was born and raised in Ohio and Indiana, moving frequently as my father pursued his career with Marathon Oil Company. After completing college, I decided to leave the snowy Midwest behind and make the desert Southwest my home—and I’ve been here ever since.
Careers
Over the years, my career has taken me through a variety of roles, including investment banking, working for airlines, and even owning three car washes. Along the way, I taught myself HTML and returned to college to earn a web design certificate. This eventually led to a rewarding period of self-employment, where I focused on web design and affiliate marketing.
Interests
Living near breathtaking deserts, canyons, mountains, and the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon has given me the opportunity to enjoy unforgettable adventures like hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, and river rafting—experiences for which I’m deeply grateful. In June 2023, I began exploring AI image creation as a fun hobby. Now, as I continue to learn and create, I’m excited to share this new artistic journey with others.
