Co-founder of Vysual. Always looking to make an impact. Favorite Maya Angelou quote: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
My Causes
About Me
I am a co-founder of Vysual. I am a father and husband living in San Diego. I am excited for the future, the opportunity that new technologies provide and hope to do my part to guide that towards making the world a better place.
About My Art
Art is a personal story for me. The art in our house is from a person or place that has meaning to us. Similarly, what I build is intended to reflect something personal and meaningful.
About My Process
I am a digital artist. I have used photoshop and editing for a long time and have embraced the power of AI. My process always starts with an idea about a story I want to tell. I start with a general idea of what I want to see, but I start testing out different prompts that build upon the idea and sometimes let it take me in a different direction. I often times incorporate different objects and pictures and mix them with the AI to influence the direction specifically. Once I feel good about something, I shift my focus to mixing in different styles (animation, drawing, paintings etc). This is one of my favorite parts because I find this experimentation leads to so many outcomes that tell incredibly different stories. The final stage is editing through colors, focus areas and styles to get something I feel truly tells the story.
Gifts of cloth bestowed,
Warmth for the cold, poor hearts glow,
In kindness, love sowed.
Donate Clothes
Shelter lost, hearts roam,
In cold night, yearning for home,
Hope lights the dark gloam.
End Homelessness
Seeds in earth, hope born,
Trees reach sky in quiet praise,
Life's breath reborn, sworn.
Plant More Trees
Hall of sweat echoes,
Strength sculpted, life's dance in strain,
Bristle of pain, gain.
Exercise Daily
Fresh greens on each plate,
Nourish life, seal fate's dictate,
Vital health innate.
Eat Healthy, Live Healthy
Gentle sea, we plead,
Cleanse our sins, in depth recede -
Echoed toll, take heed.
Keep Our Oceans Clean
Shelter hearts waiting,
Love transforms, both saved in embrace,
Life's second chance blooms.

This photo was captured in Kyrgyzstan as the sun set behind a cluster of yurts. It was a gorgeous scene set far away from the city, beside a serene lake.
Sunset in Kyrgyzstan
Climate shifts, life wanes,
Fragile echoes fade to silence,
Nature mourns extinct strains.
Extinction Echoes
City's fiery dance,
Man, beast yearn for cool reprieve -
Nature's wrath upon man's plan.
Urban Heatwave
The escalating loss of biodiversity is alarming, with numerous species facing extinction due to habitat destruction and climate change. We need to act now by directly addressing climate change.
The Vanishing Wilderness
The image I chose is one of a giant manta ray. It's meaningful to me because of the sharp decrease in their numbers, due mainly to irresponsible fishing practices. The 2020 IUCN report estimates a sta...
Endangered Giant Manta Ray
Innovation's burst,
Embraced, fuels swift hope and change -
Exciting dance, new.
Excited for the Future
Laughing portrait shines,
Time cradles joy, love's rare gift,
Earth-bound blessing found.
Playing Catch
Dawn births will untamed,
Leaves whisper hope's gallant flight,
Change echoes in air.
In the beginning
I chose this image because it symbolizes a vision that deeply resonates with me: a world where nature exists in harmony - trees standing tall, rivers running clear, and fauna flourishing in balanced e...
