The Journey

From curious kid to full-time builder

2018AGE 13

The Spark

Built my first online business from a bedroom in Minnesota. No mentors, no playbook — just a kid who figured out the internet could be more than entertainment.

Youdon’tneedpermissiontostart.

2020AGE 15

Learning to Code

Taught myself to code by breaking things and rebuilding them. Turned scattered ideas into working products for the first time.

Thebestwaytolearnistoship.

2022AGE 17

First Product Launch

Designed, built, and shipped my first SaaS product. Started experimenting with AI tools before most people knew they existed.

Donebeatsperfect.Everytime.

2024AGE 19

Going Full-Time

Joined Global Prairie as a Junior Associate, co-founded ForeFront USD, and launched Adventures in AI — now 53+ issues and counting.

2026AGE 21

Building the Future

Creating LaunchPad, Skinny Studio, and Slop.design while studying marketing at the University of San Diego. Learning in public, no gatekeeping.
