I first picked up a guitar as a kid, but life’s twists and turns carried me through many different paths:
Seven years of undergraduate studies, Eight years in the Marine Corps, A deployment to Afghanistan in 2009, And eventually, a long journey home again.
After my service, life fell apart. I ended up homeless, living in VA hospitals where I dove deep into piano.
By 2015, I pulled my life together: I found my way back to the guitar, got married, raised a family, earned my master’s degree, started a business, got a dog, bought a house— and then went through divorce and lost it all. Except the dog, I still have him. Still, somehow, I kept moving forward. And here I am today.
Around 2022, I started content creation and officially launched my first YouTube channel.
By 2024, I had more than 30 channels and over 2,000 videos—
videos covering everything I’m passionate about: from science, philosophy, theology, sunsets,
cute dog videos, tutorials, commentary, comedy, parody, wisdom, guitar and piano covers,
oil painting, video games, politics—whatever subjects spoke to my soul.
Now, in 2025, I am fully focused on two things: mastering piano and becoming a doctor.
I absolutely love piano sheet music and music theory.
While I haven’t mastered everything yet, I’m getting close—Circle of Fifths,
all major key signatures, sight-reading sheet music, that sort of thing.
I’ve been diving deeper into songwriting, storytelling, rearranging covers into mashups,
creating parodies, and doing deep lyric analysis. And oh, how I love classical piano—
Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin. I have a list of about 100 classical and pop songs I’m actively working on.
What I do need, and would be interested in, is singing lessons. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how much help anyone can give; I might be a little tone-deaf! Still, music is a form of therapy for me—it’s my joy, my creative outlet, and my way of connecting with you. Every lyric I choose to sing resonates deeply with me, capturing emotions and stories that words alone can't express.
And while I sometimes think it’s unfortunate that I’m not a naturally gifted singer, my passion has never wavered. I hope that passion shines through— and maybe, just maybe, someone out there will find something beautiful (or at least entertaining!) in my efforts. After all, some people actually love imperfect singers.
Thank you for being here. May God bless you on your journey, wherever it may lead.
