A little about me… I grew up in Cape Coral, Florida and moved to Washington, D.C. at the age of 17 to attend American University. I represented The AU Eagles at Division I level for three years before suffering an injury that would ultimately kick-start my coaching career. I went on to graduate from AU in 2019 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. In 2023 I moved to Gainesville, Florida to start a career in higher education at the University of Florida.

While most of my professional life has been spent coaching the wonderful sport of swimming, and helping students find purpose in their early careers, I believe people should be multidimensional, and pursue all their interests. This philosophy led me to start a non-profit, pursue a Masters degree, train for marathons, write a book, dabble in voice-acting and more! When I’m not working, running, or writing, you can find me lounging on the couch with my dogs and watching something on HBO. Click the button below to see what i’m working on these days!

Image Editing

For the image editing project, I edited a photo of University Ave. and 13th Street on a rainy night last winter, and maniuplated it in Adobe Photoshop Express to fit the vibe of Matthew McConaughey's book Greenlights. I also created a logo for a fictional swim team.

Web Design

For this project I created a Harry Potter Quiz, and a Career Resources Drag & Drop Assessment. How well do you know the Wizarding World? And, are you aware of all the awesome resources the Career Connections Center has to offer? They are located in the same page when you click on "Learn More".

Video Production

My video for Module 4 Project 5 - An overview of my favorite video game of all time, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Digital Animation

A brief overview of the wine-making process. With three years of experience in cider production, I tried my best to condense what I know about wine-making into 15-short seconds.

Screencasting

I used Gemini Veo3 as my example for this project. The AI video and photo creator tool is impressive when it comes to video quality, but not great with voice and speech matching.

CareerOS

While this is not for the confines of this class, although I suppose I could have used it for the bonus project, I built a prototype of a Career Operating System using Lovable. This is a basic chatbot trained with the knowledge of some career resources. I used AI to help prompt engineer the AI model and train it on career resources. It is still very much a work in progress and is no way sponsored or operated by the University of Florida. Purely for educational purposes.
