I am a business owner by day, entrepreneur by night, husband and father 24/7. I never sleep… almost.
I’m originally from Delphi, IN where I started the first 22 years of my life. My family owned a cottage on the Tippecanoe river where I spent most of my summer days swimming, fishing, and being a child. During my foundational years, I was homeschooled by my mother, Pam, who courageously took on myself and my two other siblings in the educational endeavors. 7th grade was my first year of Public school. I had no troubles fitting in because I already knew most of my classmates through little league, football, and other activities that my mother would include us in. I thank God everyday for my stable upbringing in my formidable years.
My high school years were great for me. I was an active member of our select choir group, varsity athlete in football, baseball, and basketball, and a member of the art club. I was busy and active which was good for me. My attention span was uber short! As post-high school rapidly approached, I struggled to find a calling or direction in life. After spending two years at Vincennes University, I transferred to Purdue University in W. Lafayette, IN where I majored in Fine Art and had focus on graphic design/Illustration. After I graduated, I was able to get a job right out of college into the world of publishing at John Wiley & Sons Publishing in Fishers, IN.
As my career progressed, I decided to learn more about the business world. In 2013 I enrolled in the International MBA program at Taylor University in Upland, IN. My M.B.A. from Taylor University has allowed me to cultivate a business mindset that seeks to grow professionally and personally. Combined with my undergrad degree in Fine Arts from Purdue University, I am able to creatively and effectively design programs, start new businesses, think outside the box, and produce content and products that fulfill specific needs.
