2011

Throughout my entire life I've pursued creative design, development, and production through all sorts of multimedia venues. When I was 10 years old I attended my first programming camp in Houston, TX. For many years afterwards, I spent a majority of my free time creating computer games (remember OHRRPGCE?!) and spending endless hours creating sprites, tiles, and other 32bit graphics.

My focus eventually shifted to film special effects and editing in 2006, which resulted in a 2007 Gold Remi Award from the Worldfest Film Festival for my editing work on a short-film. I was simultaneously working hard to advance my skills in Graphic and Web design in order to produce all my own media for my band. What started out as a fun experiment quickly evolved into a new passion, and eventually, a career path.

In 2007 the local community college provided me an opportunity to jumpstart my education in website design. A couple years of schooling and freelance work led me to Silicon Valley, CA, where I worked as an independent contractor for several small businesses, companies, and entrepreneurs. Eventually, my wife and I came back to Texas to work closer to our family and friends. We've lived in Houston, Austin, and now, are excited to explore what opportunities may await in Dallas.

Horticulture & Biotecture

My wife and I are acquiring all the skills necessary to build an off-the-grid home in Texas. When I first started learning about horticulture, I had a long-term goal in mind: create self-sustainable ecosystems capable of providing enough food to feed a small family, without any additional upkeep or maintenance costs. Eventually, I stumbled upon an innovative architect, Michael Reynolds, who started with a similar idea back in the 70's and has since taken it to a whole new level. His sustainable housing techniques internalize power, water, sewage, and food production in order to create a truly self-reliant, off-the-grid solution for those individuals who may be interested in that life style.

We are very excited about the future and our grand Earthship (Biotecture) experiment!

The R3volution

This winter, I volunteered for my presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul. The campaign program placed me in Iowa, to hit the campaign trail before the first caucus date. I had some really great exposure to the revolution stirring in America's sub-conscience. It is my single greatest hope that we can one day restore America to a Constitutional Republic.
