Hey 👋🏻


Welcome to my About Me Page, this page will provide you with a timeline of my life from when I was born to where I am now.


Scroll to learn more about me.

1992-2010

I grew up in Harleysville, PA a small town about 40 minutes outside of Philadelphia. My childhood consisted of playing Basketball, World Of Warcraft and watching Apple create the world we know today.


Fast forward to High School and I end up panning out to be a pretty good basketball player. You can view my achievements page to check out all the accolades I earned.


But in 2008, something else happened… Apple launched the App Store. More on this to come.


I graduated from Souderton Area High School and headed off to Goldey Beacom College to play basketball.


2010-2014

At Goldey Beacom I did very well on an off the court. During this time I also launched my first app called iGames, which became EyeGames and then later GamingU after someone sued me because of my name.


GamingU allows Gamers to discover new or existing video games for the consoles they own. Back then a ton of Gamers were waiting on GameInformer Magazine to get this information.


I grew this to about 3k Users and about 500 Daily Active Users. I ended up shutting it down because once I graduated I didn't want to play as many video games anymore, I wanted to make money.


This hurt GamingU's brand. Not to mention I had no clue how to make money with an app and I was wasting a ton of cash paying developers.


It was time for a new venture.

2015-2017

These two years were where my journey officially began. I always wanted to do my own thing, but more importantly build my own product.


The issue was I didn't know if I had the skills to do that. First thing I did was learn how to sell. I worked for a company called Corporate Interiors where I sold Audio Visual Equipment. I did well there and hit my quota both years.


The next thing I wanted to learn how to do was design & build a product. I didn't want to be in sales anymore, which is why I decided to quit and become a full-time Entrepreneur.

2017-2022

These 5 years were insane. I left my Sales job and became a full-time Entrepreneur that was living off savings.


It took me about 2 years to teach myself how to design, I took a ton of classes from Meng To at DesignCode.io.


This led to me starting my own Software Development Studio which I ran until 2022.


During this time and when I was running my Software Development Studio, I built a ton of products like Chad, Clava, Pastryy.


In early 2022 I shutdown my studio to become a Full-time App Designer at MartianCraft.

2023 - Present

Currently still working at MartianCraft as an App Designer but I'm still building products on the side like OneTap App.


I'm also doing & open to Freelance projects, if you're looking for a designer / developer for your product feel free to reach out!
