<my_journey>
From Minecraft servers at 11 to AI systems at 23. Every collapse created space for reinvention.
2013-2015 {AGE 11-13}
First Systems
Youth sports referee, groundskeeping, building Minecraft servers from scratch. Learning that every world has rules — and you can write them.
2016-2017 {AGE 14-15}
Digital Entrepreneurship
Founding LFC Studios. Building custom plugins, managing online communities, monetizing digital infrastructure. First taste of building something people would pay for.
2018-2019 {AGE 16-17}
Hospitality + Operations
Taco Bell crew to shift lead. Joined Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas management team. Learning systems thinking through restaurant operations — every workflow is an algorithm.
2019-2022 {AGE 17-20}
Finance → Marketing Director
Opened Cinépolis Pacific Palisades for Netflix (destroyed in 2025 LA fires). Pivoted to financial advising internship, built an entire website they didn’t ask for. They loved it, created a marketing director position for me. Hired a team, built a department from scratch. Became independent contractor. 100+ hour weeks.
2022-2023 {AGE 20-21}
The ChatGPT Pivot
November 2022: ChatGPT launched. I saw the future instantly. Strategic decision: slowly stop serving traditional digital media clients, go all-in on AI. Founded AI Guys Academy. Most people thought I was crazy. I could see it clear as day.
2024 {AGE 22}
Florida Build: Medicare AI System
4-month live-in project in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Built one of the most advanced AI-native tech stacks to date: autodialer trained on client’s voice, RAG-powered system with real-time API connections to healthcare provider data. Automated 20-40 hours/week of manual work. Watched SpaceX launches from Space Coast beaches. Fell in love with learning again — decided to go back to college.
2025 (Jan-April) {AGE 23}
Full Sail University Enrollment
Enrolled at Full Sail University (B.S. Computer Science, AI Focus). Toured Winter Park campus, loved the faculty and vibe. Realized I had technical skills across multiple industries but wanted formal CS training. Started classes while figuring out next move.
2025 (April-August) {AGE 23}
Sales Training: Door-to-Door
Door-to-door pest control sales across Arkansas, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee. Sold $52,000 in contracts. It was brutal — essentially a pyramid scheme where they took most of the commission. But I learned formal sales training, stretched way outside my comfort zone, and realized I had skills across multiple industries but lacked closing experience. Educational, but glad it’s over.
CURRENT {August 2025 – Present}
Promptaholic: AI Consulting & Building in Public
Moved back to California. Building Promptaholic full-time: AI consulting, voice agents, social media automation. Door-to-door sales to local businesses (auto shops, nurseries, contractors) — targeting 10 clients by Q4 2025. Loan officer position at AdvantageFirst Lending for stability while building pipeline. Continuing Full Sail Computer Science degree. At the intersection of technical capability, creative vision, and business strategy. Every skill compounded. Every collapse created space for reinvention. This is where it all comes together.
