The Story Behind the Code
A glimpse into who I really am.
Gridiron Memories
My football journey took me from the fields of Mount Carmel to playing at Northern Illinois University. Those years taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, teamwork, and perseverance that continue to shape my approach to challenges.
The camaraderie of a team working toward a common goal, the dedication required for daily practice, and the resilience needed to overcome setbacks, these experiences have become foundational to my work ethic.
Tata the Elf
Every Christmas, I transform into one of Santa's helpers, donning a full elf costume to bring joy to children. Dressing up and giving my cousins gifts is a tradition I look forward to every year.
This tradition has become an important part of my life.Check out this AI generated music video I made for the character.

Virtual Battlegrounds
When I'm not coding or working on projects, I'm probably playing Halo. I am a huge fan of the series and have been playing since 2003.
Gaming has always been important to me. It's a great way to connect and relax with friends.
