about me
I'm a huge nerd, kind of a goofball, and an adrenaline junkie.
I love to laugh, I love to have fun, and I love to learn new things. I'm always up for an adventure, whether it's exploring a new city, or trying a new food.
I'm also a pretty smart cookie.
I graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in Computer Information Systems, and I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself intellectually.
I'm not afraid to be myself, and I'm always up for a good time. If you're looking for someone to make you laugh, to teach you something new, or to go on an adventure with, then I'm your guy.

a few companies i've had the pleasure to work for
I had a non-traditional school journey, attending four different elementary schools due to my family's frequent relocation. This made it challenging to make lasting friendships, but it also taught me the importance of adaptability and resilience.
In middle school, I found stability in a private learning environment, where I thrived academically and socially. I was always proud to be the "cool nerd," excelling in both my studies and my love of hip hop culture.
In high school, I attended a performing arts high school, where I discovered my passion for acting and television production. I graduated at the top of my class, and I am confident that my educational experiences have prepared me well for my college career.
I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from GA State University, graduating with Honors.
