Bio

I am an adopted student committed to positively changing human mindset through digital marketing. Adopted at 9 onto a farm. I am father raising my 8 year old son. Initially I started my digital marketing journey as a solo music Artist. With dreams of telling my story through melodic vibrations called struggle music. As I watched music hiphop change,evolving to glorifying gun violence, drug activity, depression, degrading women, and glorifying things of the devil. I decided that I didn’t want to be apart of that industry. I began to lose friends to gun violence, drug overdoses, suicides, drinking and driving. After losing a friend of mine named king to gun violence I was so heartbroken. And I realized my friend’s lives were influenced by drugs, alcohol, women, guns, money and hip hop music. I wanted to change that. King was shot on his front porch 1 hour after returning home from vacation. Three months earlier he was found not guilty on a case, beating a fifty nine year case. This inspired me to enroll in school for digital marketing to dedicate myself to projecting a positive message through marketing, advertising, promotion, and music. I will receive my associates degree in digital marketing in 2026. While working toward my degree I will use the skills learned to continue to build my online store. Offering Jewelry and fashion. Our mission is too boost self confidence & self esteem threw affordable priced Jewelry & fashion. 2027 I will pursue my bachelors degree in digital marketing and continue and to go to an associates degree in music and continue on to my bachelor’s.

Eventually working towards opening homeless shelter. When I graduate in 2026 I dream and will receive my masters in digital marketing and continue and to go to an associates degree in music and continue on to my masters. I also lost a friend named Ryan to suicide. He was so awesome and fun to be around. I never felt that he was hurting, He would often listen to rave music. He had a daughter that was under 10 years old. So many people were hurt that day, was our first wake up call, during our adult life about adult mental health. This made me realize how I can positively control human minds through positive music, marketing, videos, and advertising. Realizing that Ryan’s depressed state of mind and his choice of music and hertz were not helping his mental health. I know now how I can help. This affected my entire friend group. His family was constantly suffering. I was thinking, our community had more money and knowledge on digital marketing we could spread more awareness. Another great friend of mine by the name of Jacob who I looked up to very much high school overdose on heron. I was so shocked when I heard the news, he was song young. This divested me, I knew something needed to be done. I kept asking why? How? How did he get in to drugs? he seemed so happy? Then I came to realize that there was mental health crisis in our community and over 15 more of mine passed away from drugs, and guns violence, and suicide. All stemming from mental health issues. I realized that causes of mental health are being promoted through digital marketing, and music. I felt helpless, while losing my friends to a new lifestyle these were living. Now I know how I can help. These unforgettable events are what interest me in digital marketing.
