I grew up in a Dallas suburb in a house with lots of music, lots of movies, and lots of siblings.
I credit this upbringing for a love of art and my passion for creativity.
After high school, I started my Business Communication degree at Dallas Baptist University, and after a life-changing gap year in Wales, I finished my degree in 2018.
I met my wife later that year and we married in 2020. We have two little girls.
Favorite Director(s):
The Coen Brothers, David Lynch, and Roy Andersson
