How I Found My Craft in the Mile High City
As a young actor, I made the same mistake that many others in my shoes have made, perceiving LA as synonymous with successful acting. I quickly learned that most individuals in LA could care less about whether or not you can actually act. Audition after audition, bad job after bad job, the number one thing I learned is that they just care about the resume (and sometimes even Instagram followers). After two years, it broke me down to a bitter and depressed individual with a deflated sense of self worth. I stepped out of the metro, coming home from my day job, and looked in front of me, Hamilton playing at the Pantages Theater. I literally fell to my knees in tears thinking to myself "I'm done, I will never be that." A play that once inspired me now stood as a titanic symbol of the impossible. I did not care for the hustle, or for the competition. I cared to be a great actor and I was at the point that I didn't believe I could ever become that. When my apartment lease was up, I freed myself and flew to Denver. I no longer had the intention of being an actor.

We Tried Burrow: The Modular Sofa in a Box Everyone's Talking About and It's Amazing. Top Story - June 2018.
Fairly recently, my office moved—and with it, moved a lot of our goods. We kept some of the cute knick-knackeries of the former office, but truth be told, we couldn't stand the idea of keeping the furniture from the old office. The chairs were painfully uncomfortable, and the tables weren't even stable.

Accessories for a Pretty & Organized Desk
What does your workspace say about you? It is a representation of you and could make a first impression of who you are to your colleagues. It reflects personality and shows whether or not you have a sense of creativity or compassion. It also speaks highly of your organizational skills. Whether you work in a cubicle or have a home office, your workspace is extremely important. It could provide you with the flow you need to be happy and productive, or in retrospect, its chaos could cause you frustration and the inability to focus. Or heck, maybe you just want a revamp because you’ve had the same set-up for 10 years and you're bored.

What I Do...
I was once asked, "What do you do?" I playfully responded..."I do the impossible... then I do it again!" For the sake of clarity and specificity, I will elaborate. I am an "information specialist". In other words, an adamant researcher and investigator that specializes in finding not-so-readily-found, hidden (occult), extraordinary, empowering, and practical information. I am good at it and take pride in this constantly improving ability to do this. More importantly, I am grateful for my capacity to retain much of this voluminous and extremely valuable information, in addition, and equally significant, is in my application of this information. Not to mention, my willingness and capability of relaying these thoughts and messages to the ready and willing to the best of my knowledge and aptitude.
