Coming in as a walk-on athlete and earning a full scholarship at Stony Brook University’s Division 1 Football Program. If you knew my story you would understand how big of an each achievement this was. My high school record was 2 wins with 30 losses and I was constantly reminded by faculty, students and parents that I had no future in the sport. Instead of letting the noise influence me I decided the only person who can stop me is me. College coaches would watch the film and see I was the best player on the field. This lead to me receiving a walk on opportunity at Stony Brook. It came with changing my position from wide receiver to full back which is a major difference. Still I held my ground and believed in myself earning my full ride my junior year. I’ve established a solid mindset where whatever I put my mind to I can accomplish. It is a lesson I will carry throughout the career and life.

It all started with gaming in high school. My friends and I had a video game clan but we needed an editor. I was always in love with animation/effects so delved deeper. This start with a free program called GIMP where I first learned my photo manipulation skills. Certain Youtube Editors inspired me to pick up After Effects and I became educating myself. I am primarily self taught in Grpahic Design as my university didn’t have it as a major. I’ve grown simply through my drive and dedication to pursue further education in this realm.

I’ve been an athlete my entire life playing Football, Baseball, Basketball, Lacrosse, and also pentathlon in track. Major life skills such as accountability, collaboration, leadership, and courage I wouldn’t be familiar with otherwise. I am also a huge fan of japenese anime & videogames. It’s beautiful getting lost in worlds created by brilliant minds and it inspires me knowing there is so much more to learn. Lastly, I used to sing competitively and have started to reconnect with it. I plan on uploading videos to my social media to share my talent with the world.
