Always Maintain the Attitude of a Student

At my core, I’m a lifelong learner. Ironically, I fully realized this while working as a high school teacher. With constant exposure to evolving cultures, groundbreaking technologies, and the ever-changing landscape of effective teaching, each day presented new horizons to explore.

Beyond the classroom, I have a deep appreciation for woodworking. I’ve taken Nick Offerman’s words to heart: Woodworking teaches you patience. If you rush, you’ll regret it. Good things take time, whether it’s a table or a career. What began as a utilitarian hobby with meditative side effects has grown into a true passion—one that challenges me to refine my craft with every new project.

And then there’s music. I wouldn’t say my musical abilities are extraordinary (I play the drums but can’t even read sheet music), but my connection to music is unique. I’m fascinated by its power to create meaning, bridge divides, and stir something deeply human in all of us. Through rhythm, harmony, and melody, I’ve come to see the world differently. This passion fuels my drive to help artists build their brands, design platforms that connect them with fans, and capture their expertise in action.
