Summary

I come from a strong family background which instilled in me the importance of being respectful, responsible, and reliable. Mixing those three things with a daily dose of initiative, I apply 100% into anything I do. I have an extensive work history, which has allowed me to learn many things throughout memorable moments/lessons that I'll take with me in any professional setting. I have a dedicated love for music which helps me in my day to day life. I have been a self taught drummer for over 10 years, have studied in the field of audio production, and play drums for an alternative band called JAID. Through the work I've done with my band we've toured all throughout Texas, released a plethora of music, and played many music venues in Texas including but not limited to: White Oak Music Hall (Upstairs & Downstairs), Warehouse Live: Midtown, Paper Tiger (San Antonio), and even Resonant Head all the way out in Oklahoma City. Being a musician has helped me keep a very disciplined mindset when it comes to my responsibilities in my life, and I've applied this mindset in all aspects of my daily life including my work life.
