Growing up as a kid, I was an aspiring artist. I spend my young life drawing, painting, building, and creating. Trying to become a professional artist, I paid my dues painting murals for hotels and schools. I found that making money in the Art field was very tough.
After a few years of college, I joined the United States ARMY to pursue my other passion, aviation. I started as a Helicopter Mechanic and attended the ART Institute of Philadelphia for Computer Animation under the GI Bill.
A year in, I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I was accepted into ARMY Flight School. Two years after I graduated, I got deployed to IRAQ, flying Black Hawk Helicopters in an Air Assault Battalion.
After returning from Iraq, I switched gears and went to Fixed Wing school, flying the King Air C-12. Then shortly after, I went back to Iraq for another year.
In 2006, I started flying MEDEVAC Helicopters in the Reserves In Philadelphia, San Diego, and currently in South Florida. Fast forward to today, I deployed three times, did 20 years in the Reserves, and still served the community for 17 years as a MEDEVAC Pilot.
As I got more into social media, I found a way to get back into the ART world by creating some fun, crazy attire and gear for you all. I have many new things to come, including an invention I have been prototyping for the past three years and my journey into songwriting and music production.
Thanks for checking in; I hope to hear from you with some ideas.
