Music → TechFounderPurpose-driven

My journey through life has been a blend of music, technology, and entrepreneurship — constantly evolving, always building.

🎧 The DJ Life Ages 18–25

Ages 18 to 25 went by in a blur—it felt like I lived an entire lifetime in that short span. I performed at iconic nightclubs across the UK, landed brand deals, and shared stages with artists ranging from Deadmau5 to Snoop Dogg. I signed with a record label in Spain, played major festivals and renowned Vegas pool parties, and held residencies from Arizona to New York City—often jumping on long flights and doing jet-lagged live radio shows. In 2015, I was voted Arizona's Favorite DJ by Arizona Foothills Magazine and performed at the New Times Best of Awards show. Behind the scenes, I was quietly learning the ropes of business, marketing, finance, market influence, saturation, and technology. Those years taught me that creativity alone isn't enough—you need strategy, resilience, and a willingness to adapt.

👨‍👧‍👦 Becoming a Dad

In 2013, everything changed—fatherhood shifted my focus from music to building something lasting for my family. My wife and I were building a life together while I was still fully immersed in my music career. But just days before I was scheduled to leave for a European tour, our daughter was born. I chose to stay. Turning down that tour was the clearest sign that it was time for something new, stable and local. I launched my first company and poured into it every tool, relationship, and strategy I had developed in music. The passion didn't fade—it just found a new direction.

📹 Creator Era

Fast forward to the pandemic years—I turned to content creation on YouTube as a way to stay sane and inspired. That creative outlet led to a milestone: achieving YouTube Partner status. During that time, I found myself diving back into coding—building a personal website, experimenting with layouts, functions, loops, and more. As I continued learning, I realized how critical branding, self-promotion, and real relationships are—especially for people wanting to start a business. That insight led me to write Build With Purpose, a real world guide to starting something that matters and actually finishing it.

The Latest Project & Building in Public

After launching LinkUpQR and seeing real businesses thrive from tools I built, I realized I wanted to create something much more impactful. That vision became ElevenStack — my all-in-one ecosystem of business tools designed to help owners grow, streamline their operations, and scale smarter.

With ElevenStack, I’m building:

  • Forms for bookings, onboarding, payments, and signatures
  • Payments that save businesses money and simplify processing
  • Reach for websites, SEO, and social growth
  • Fund to help business owners access quick, flexible capital

I'm building openly — sharing progress, lessons, and even the setbacks — because the journey matters just as much as the product. My goal is to inspire others to take action, build boldly, and create tools that truly make a difference.
