🎧 The DJ Life

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. That foundation shaped the way I approach every project today, blending experience with execution, and passion with purpose.

👨‍👧‍👦 Becoming a Dad

In 2013, everything changed—fatherhood shifted my focus from music to building something lasting for my family. My wife and I we 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. In that moment, the priorities I had been juggling suddenly came into sharp focus. 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. Thankfully, the same energy and drive that once fueled late nights on stage now powered long days building something real for the future. 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. Through my content, I shared insights from both my music and business journeys, while connecting with an audience that shared my passion for video games. During that time, I found myself diving back into coding—building a personal website, experimenting with layouts, functions, loops, and more. I even started using JavaScript to create editing tools and automate workflows. That process reignited my passion for development, and soon I was trading video game sessions for online classes and web projects. What started as a hobby quickly became a new creative frontier. As I continued learning, I realized just how critical branding, self-promotion and real relationships are—especially for people wanting to start a business, many of whom had no clue where to start and were struggling with it. That insight led me to write Build With Purpose, a real world guide to starting something that matters and actually finishing it. Weather you're building a brand or launching a product, or simply trying to follow through on that idea that won't leave you alone, this book is here to cut through the noise. Drawing from my experiences from the music industry to the fin-tech industry, this the guide is designed to empower people of all kinds to thrive in the digital world.

Build With Purpose

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 products that solve real problems:

• 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.

What's next? My focus now is on expanding the ElevenStack ecosystem and continuing to build tools that empower entrepreneurs. Every product I launch is driven by real needs, real feedback, and the belief that technology should make business easier, not harder. I invite you to follow along as I continue exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship — and build in public every step of the way.
