About Me

I’ve been interested in making money for as long as I can remember. It started in second grade, when my friends and I wanted to write and sell our own books. By fourth grade, that curiosity turned into a small YouTube channel where we tried to figure out how people made money online. That eventually led to a shared Etsy shop connected to the channel—my first real experience selling something to people I didn’t know.

Later, I turned that Etsy shop into my own and actually grew it into something real. Since then, I’ve tried just about everything: selling golf balls, running multiple YouTube channels (most of which failed), trash can valet, mailbox refinishing, and just about any small job you can think of. I’m constantly starting new projects, learning from what works and what doesn’t.

I’m deeply into all things tech and naturally build most of my projects around what I enjoy—especially creating and selling things through 3D printing. I like understanding how products work, how they’re made, and how they can be improved. That curiosity carries into how I buy things, too. I almost never buy something twice. Instead, I haggle, negotiate, and work directly with companies to get issues resolved—often securing free replacements or better solutions. I genuinely enjoy calling customer support and navigating those conversations.

I prefer quality over quantity in everything I build and buy. I’d rather do fewer things well than chase shortcuts. This site is a snapshot of that mindset—what I’ve built, what I’m building now, and what I’m excited to try next!
