Summary
I'm 29 yrs old, born and raised in West Palm Beach, FL. LA transplant since the summer of 2017. I am a musician and freelance graphic designer and am currently growing my artist brand and steadily gaining more exposure via my music. I am very outgoing and friendly, personable, and rarely experience difficulty getting along with others. I have and appreciate a good sense of humor and can laugh at myself with ease. I opt for civil over hostile encounters, even in situations where I am the victim of verbal attacks/hostility/aggression, etc. My military experience granted me thick skin, and a great work ethic paired with unwavering resolve. Despite my nonconfrontational nature, I still try to be upfront, honest and straightforward with others whenever necessary, even if it makes things uncomfortable/awkward. I value authenticity and being genuine towards others and myself. Above all else, I am a vessel of universal love, compassion, and empathy. Those three values are what define my character and reasoning throughout my day-to-day interactions since I believe we attract the energy we put out into this universe.
