The first time I heard the concept “Renaissance Man” was in Art School earning my BFA. Learning this idea opened my eyes to the freedom of exploring multiple interests; I realized I could pursue many passions without feeling confined to just one.
 
Practically since birth my mantra has been, “Don’t box me in.” I have a growth mindset combined with a curiosity and endless drive to learn and understand the world. I need room to learn and grow. As a result, my career path has been anything but conventional, yet each role I’ve taken on reflects my passion for creativity and problem solving. Rather than following a linear trajectory, I’ve pursued opportunities across a variety of fields that have broadened my experience and sharpened my adaptability.

I’ve had the privilege of developing a wide range of skills, from working with asylum seekers as a missionary to offering emotional support to women and children affected by abuse, to coaching teenage girls in basketball, to designing ads and writing radio jingles for Colorado's mountain biking industry. I’ve created uplifting artworks for gallery shows and designed a book on building haunted houses. In each role, I’ve drawn on my ability to empathize, think strategically and collaborate effectively, whether coordinating complex promotional video projects from scratch or guiding people toward positive change in their lives.
 
My unconventional career has allowed me to remain versatile, constantly learning, and evolving. I’m excited about the future and look forward to continuing to leverage my diverse background to make meaningful contributions in any new opportunity I pursue.
