The Journey

Beyond Code: Evolving from Engineer to Entrepreneur

My path has been defined by transformation. From writing code to creating companies, I've navigated the tech landscape for over two decades; evolving from a software developer into a visionary founder who builds solutions at the intersection of creativity and artificial intelligence.

The Foundation

Started as a Software Developer at American Productivity & Quality Center (2000-2002) while simultaneously founding Grapeshot.net (1999-2006), an early social network that ignited my entrepreneurial spirit.

Leadership Growth

Served as Director of Information Technology at BVIG Financial (2003-2007), where I built highly concurrent applications processing thousands of simultaneous ATM transactions nationwide.

Corporate Innovation

Expanded my expertise through roles at Disney (2007-2009), and TollFreeFowarding (2009-2024), where I honed my skills in enterprise solutions and digital transformation.

Founder's Vision

Founded Compeller LLC, bringing together my technical expertise and creative vision to build an AI-powered platform that puts creators in control of visual storytelling.

Purpose and Vision

I'm building a future where AI empowers creators rather than replacing them - where technology amplifies human creativity instead of diminishing it.

At Compeller, we're reimagining how creators interact with technology. Our mission is to democratize access to advanced visual tools, putting the power of AI in the hands of musicians, venues, and content creators who previously couldn't afford custom visual solutions.

This journey from software engineer to founder represents more than a career change - it's the evolution of a philosophy that technology should serve creativity, not constrain it. Compeller is the embodiment of that belief: a platform where technical innovation meets artistic expression.

Music Production

Where Technology Meets Artistic Expression

Beyond the world of tech entrepreneurship, I express my creativity through electronic music production. As an artist based in Orange County, I create immersive soundscapes that blend Dance, EDM, and Techno influences into compelling audio journeys.

My tracks "Rise Above" and "Limitless" represent my philosophy of breaking boundaries between technology and art; the same philosophy that drives Compeller's mission to empower creators with AI tools.

Creating Dance & EDM tracks that energize audiences and showcase the emotional power of electronic music.
