I turn trauma into testimony, silence into strategy, and survival into visibility.
I specialize in SEO, digital growth, and visibility strategy for small businesses, artists, and creators. My work has:
• Helped brick-and-mortar shops open second locations
• Doubled staff capacity in under a year
• Carried education institutions through COVID-era survival
• Scaled Google Maps and search visibility into the hundreds of thousands
I’ve done this with zero fluff and zero corporate noise — just experience, grit, and tactical precision.
Ethical Commitment — I work with:
LGBTQ+ founders
Artists, survivors, and disabled creators
People whose stories mirror my own
I offer limited low-cost consulting for trauma survivors and underserved creators. Just ask.

Lab Rat: A Reckoning is a raw, unflinching queer memoir of survival, betrayal, and resilience.
It traces one man’s journey through familial trauma, systemic abuse, and the quiet salvation offered by a single black cat.
Told with fierce clarity and poetic grit, it is both a reckoning and a resurrection.
Acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media works grounded in lived experience. My art explores themes of survival, identity, and emotional alchemy—transforming pain into color, and silence into form. Each piece is a meditation, a memory, a reclamation.

Every piece I paint is a memory reclaimed. A wound reworked into color.
