With the formation of Echo Eight Group, I was allowed to express the true writing styles and creative processes that I hadn't been able to through other media outlets. Echo Eight Group takes its name from a location that holds significant historical and memorial value to myself. Originally starting life under various under names E8G is the culmination, and continued evolution of the business, distribution and publication process.E8G is a multifaceted organization that is currently exploring ways to incorporate the traditional notions of photography, the traditional notions of writing and other publishing into a singular narrative that not only makes use of the best of technology, but seeks to destroy the traditional paradigm of what is considered a "novel" by incorporating these other forms of media into that narrative.

Born in the upstairs bedroom / office of a rented duplex is a suspect part of town, Mobster Poet is that unique amuse-bouche of artistic flair that belies the humble origins of an ancient laptop and even older desk found on the side of the road, ready to be cast off but eagerly repurposed.It is in that spirit that I – as an author, as a guerilla journalist, as a photographer, as a content producer – embrace the title of Entartete Kunst. I, myself, am drawn to the art and the writing and the music that is often considered outside the norms, sometimes even out of bounds. And while it might indeed be a bit self serving attitude, I endeavor to speak with people whom I admire, people who I think have a story to tell, and people who have a unique perspective on the world around them.

I am one of a group of team members who are the "first line"​ when patients enter the hospital, whether for Radiology, Emergency Services, or Outpatient Labs. As a Registrar it is first, and foremost, to see to the needs of the patient when it comes to ensuring that not only has the physician ordered the accurate procedure, but that the correct procedure was scheduled. From there I ensure that all of the patient's demographic is correct so that their insurance policies are not delayed in paying out for their procedure and making sure that each and every patient understands the various options for their particular procedure. Finally I am the one to physically place the order with the particular area and ensure that the patient is seen and treated, as necessary, within a reasonable amount of time to decrease any negative effects.I am currently working with a great group of other hospital staff as we transition to a new program called EPIC for the hospital that will allow our patients even quicker access to their procedure and will make it an even more efficient process for the patient. Working as a Super User within this group we are going to be doing a fair amount of the cross training for our department, and related areas, providing a knowledge base that other employees can draw from.

As a CAD Tutor I work with students, often having a wide variety of backgrounds and technical abilities, so that they may learn at a pace that is successful to them, to become proficient with AutoCAD. This is an ever changing and fluid process because no two students are alike and AutoCAD itself is updated on a yearly basis. This requires me to remain proficient with the program and also remain fluid in my teaching style so that students don't feel as if they are being fitted into a specific style of learning, but rather that I can adapt to their individual needs.

As a CAD Tech I assist clients in making the conceptual leap from sketches and ideas to that of a set plans and reality in which the client is able to go to the city with a set of buildable plans for their home, business or ranch.

As an intern with the Housing First Program under HRDC I was privileged to work with many great people in assisting members of our community with any number of needs, ranging from Resource Orientation to Short Term Shelter at the Warming Center and Long Term Housing through Section 8 and the Road to Home project. HRDC works to provide a custom tailored solution to those needs and to help each person retain their dignity while they work to get back on their feet.
