My path hasn’t been linear—but it’s been intentional.

For 11 years, I taught music and directed bands, helping students find their voice in classrooms and (during the pandemic) online. At the same time, I built a career as a professional musician—performing, recording, and touring since the age of 19.

In my final year as a teacher, I stepped into a new role as a Technology Integration Coach, guiding other educators in using digital tools to teach more effectively. After that, I explored a brief stint in EdTech before accepting an international opportunity as a musical director for a live band in Bangkok, Thailand.

When that contract ended, I returned to the U.S. with no gigs, no 9-to-5, and no backup plan.

So I bet on myself.

In 10 months, I transformed my YouTube channel from a side project into a thriving platform with over 30K subscribers and 3 million views—built entirely on sustainable systems, not burnout or trends.

Now, I help music educators, performers, and passionate experts do the same: build a confident, clear, and revenue-ready presence online—without chasing the algorithm or sacrificing their values.
