Me

After seeing a "97" in red ink on my 5th grade book report, I decided I was an OK writer. After learning the hardest note on the trumpet, I decided being creative was cool and I could get used to it. After convincing my cousin Steve to pay me $2 for a moss-covered rock, I decided I could sell anything. Years later at 16 years old, I decided I wanted to do all of these things for a living. 

Now, here I am, grabbin' attentions since. Instrumental music lover, wedding band drummer, sports/Esports guy, competitive Smash Bros player. And father to my son & daughter, Noah & Ria. I wrote this while doing a handstand.
