General

Currently living in Kansas City, Missouri
I am a Rave DJ, VJ, and Promoter for Millennium Strike; a music and visual arts collective I founded with my friends in April of 2021.

I spend my free time going to thrift stores collecting interesting looking CDs, VHS Tapes, DVDs, and older Video Game consoles / software.

I'm not so good at playing / watching these games / movies, but I adore having a shelf full of media to show off to friends whenever I invite them over.

I appreciate the aesthetics of the era I grew up in and attribute the mid 00s to my overall soul and drive as an artist.

Currently messing with various GitHub projects attempting to replicate older TV Networks.
