About Me

I moved to Amsterdam in February of 2018. The Dutch American Friendship Treaty Visa has allowed me to live in the Netherlands and pursue work as a freelancer. I currently work as a YouTube expert, advising companies and individuals on how to grow and leverage their YouTube channels. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, golf, and exploring everything this city has to offer.
