Executive founder and CEO blending creative digital design with customer-facing sales operations.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work where I can lead operations or drive sales with strong customer engagement—balancing safety and clean execution with creative digital design, photography, and brand-building.

I ran Moonlight Firearm Technologies LLC as CEO and Owner, turning a prototype into a firearm technologies company while leading operations and strategic growth.

I built the brand presence end-to-end, from social media development and digital art/logos/photography to website design, and I pursued DOD contract potential through CAGE numbers.

Earlier roles kept me close to customers and safety-critical workflows—at Woodie's Wash Shack I directed vehicles within safety protocol, guided them onto moving tracks, and supported clean, high-engagement service.

I also drove revenue through souvenir photography sales at Photogenic Inc., and I contributed to research at HCC, USF, and NASA’s Sustainable Food Program by gathering and presenting accurate historical and scientific data.
