CURRENT MISSION

To move resolutely into every challenge of my own personal interest

ABOUT ME

The shy one among a family of athletes, I grew up finding my first moments of nirvana in LL Cool J's "Mamma Said Knock You Out," and Coolio's "Gangta's Paradise." Hip hop was a gateway into all music and sound and I'm currently working toward a degree in audio engineering. Graduated the University of Washington in 2013 with a focus in abstract sculpture.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life for individual betterment and happiness. I believe in honest commitment and adherence to the pursuits of one's life and working to complete them to the best of one's ability.
