Affiliations
One of my favorite activities is installing car audio systems. There’s something deeply satisfying about taking a vehicle’s sound setup and transforming it into a high-performance, custom experience. I enjoy every part of the process from wiring and mounting components to fine-tuning the sound for the perfect balance of bass, clarity, and depth. It’s not just about the technical skills; it’s about creating an environment where music feels alive, and that brings me a lot of pride.
In addition to car audio, I have a strong passion for building things from scratch out of wood. Whether it’s furniture, shelving, or creative custom projects, I enjoy turning raw lumber into something useful and long-lasting. The process of planning, measuring, cutting, and finishing is not only therapeutic, but it gives me a chance to express creativity while also working with my hands. Seeing a finished project that started as a simple idea is incredibly rewarding.
Both of these hobbies allow me to problem-solve, use my hands, and constantly learn new techniques. I like that they mix both creativity and precision skills I take pride in. Whether I’m working on a car or in the workshop, I feel in my element when I’m building or improving something from the ground up.
Accomplishments
I am a CPR-certified individual, trained in life-saving techniques and emergency response—skills that reflect my commitment to safety and preparedness in both personal and professional settings.
One of my proudest achievements is being recognized as one of the top 3 car audio installers in the Southeast. My custom installs are known for their precision, innovation, and high-performance results, and I’ve earned a strong reputation for delivering elite-level audio experiences tailored to each client’s vision.
In addition to my technical work, I also serve as a motivational speaker for recovering addicts. Drawing from personal experience and a passion for helping others, I share my journey and speak at recovery events, treatment centers, and community groups. My goal is to inspire hope, build connection, and remind others that change is always possible with the right mindset and support.
