Veteran • Game Developer • Homesteader • Father of Four
100% VA-disabled veteran, SCAD Game Development student, husband, and father of four — building generational family land one pixel and one acre at a time.
Every line of code I write, every row I plant in the vineyard, every plank laid for our future wedding venue is part of the same system: Faith • Family • Legacy.
I spent years in uniform serving something greater than myself. Today I’m channeling that same discipline into creating worlds in game engines and carving out a permanent place on the earth for my children and their children after them.
I served my country with pride until a medical retirement changed everything. Becoming 100% VA-disabled forced me to reimagine what “service” looks like. The discipline, leadership, and grit I learned in uniform now fuel everything I build — from game systems to generational land.
At the Savannah College of Art and Design, I’m studying Game Development with the same intensity I once brought to the battlefield. I’m drawn to systems design — resource chains, AI behaviors, procedural generation — because they mirror the real-world systems I’m building on our family land.
We’re turning raw Georgia land into a living legacy: a vineyard, a wedding venue, and a self-sustaining homestead. Every decision — from VA benefits and construction loans to grape varietals and fencing — is made with one question in mind: What will this mean for my great-grandchildren?
My wife and I are raising four children on this land. We homeschool, we work the soil, we play board games, and we dream out loud. I want my kids to grow up knowing that hard work, creativity, and deep faith can build something that outlasts any one lifetime.
Serving Christ by serving people. Every project, every row of grapes, every line of code is an act of worship and stewardship.
My wife and four children are the center of everything. The land we’re building isn’t just property — it’s the foundation for their future.
I’m not building for applause. I’m building something that will still be standing and thriving long after I’m gone — a physical and digital inheritance for generations I’ll never meet.
Whether you’re a fellow veteran, a game dev student, a homesteader, or someone who simply believes in generational thinking — I’d love to connect.
