My Interests

Sci-Fi Movies and Games

I enjoy sci-fi movies and consider myself a casual gamer. I’m into movie franchises like Godzilla, Transformers, and more. Some of the games I play include Battlefield, Path of Titans, and various zombie games.

Supercars, Hypercars and the auto industry

I’m fascinated by the design and performance of supercars and hypercars. I admire the innovation behind brands like Koenigsegg, McLaren, and Lamborghini, and how they push the limits of speed and engineering.

Space, NASA, and the Universe

I have a deep interest in space exploration and NASA’s missions. The complexity and ambition of their work, from rovers on Mars to space telescopes, fuel my curiosity about the universe.

My Hobbies

Playing Music

I’m a musician who plays piano, guitar, bass, and drums. I practice regularly and perform at events and conferences, using music as a way to connect and contribute to meaningful experiences.

Volunteering

Volunteering allows me to give back to my community. Whether it’s at church or local organizations, I find fulfillment in helping others and being a part of something bigger than myself.

Trade Shows and Events

I attend trade shows and events to experience environments where others share the same passion. It’s refreshing to be surrounded by people who are just as invested in their interests, like scrolling through social media, but in person—you never know what you’ll see.

My Faith

My Life as a Worship Leader

I’ve been attending church for over 20 years, and throughout that time, my biggest role has been leading worship.

In addition to leading worship, I’ve served in other areas such as media director, youth leader, preacher, and various other ministry departments.

My passion for serving and helping at churches has only grown stronger over the years, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to lead, teach, and support my church family.

My Dreams

The Non-Profit

A place of help when help feels out of reach.
My dream is to create a nonprofit that steps in when churches, nonprofits, small businesses, or startups are facing hardship — not just with words, but with action. Whether it’s offering financial relief after a theft, empowering a struggling team with hands-on guidance, or giving a business the boost they need to stay alive, I want to help. Maybe that means a $20K grant to replace stolen gear. Maybe it means sending in a team to train volunteers or restructure a department. Whatever it looks like — if someone’s doing good work and needs support, I want to offer professional, high-quality support at no cost — the kind of help I wish someone had given me.

The HOW Project

A home for creators, artists, and makers.
I want to build a community — literally. Affordable housing designed for creatives, where people with talent and passion can live, connect, and grow together. But it doesn’t stop there. I dream of a multi-level creation space, where each floor is dedicated to a different craft — music, video, design, content, and more. Spaces where artists can practice, film, record, and bring their ideas to life. And at the center of it all: a church built by creatives, for creatives — a place to worship God through raw, unfiltered creativity.

The Endgame

A thank you that could never be big enough — but it’s a start.
One of my deepest dreams is to buy my mom a house — not just to give her comfort, but to honor everything she’s poured into me. For all the times she fought for me, believed in me when no one else did, and stood by me even when things got hard. This is about giving back for the years she carried more than she should’ve had to, for the life she wanted to give me but couldn’t — and for the love she never once withheld. She deserves peace, stability, and rest. This would be my way of saying, “We made it — and this is for you.”
