How long have you been with 4Wall/UsedLighting.com?

I've been working with the 4Wall team since 2006, initially through the company I was with at the time. In late 2008, I launched my own business, and soon after, the owner and CEO (at that time) reached out for some work. We've been collaborating ever since, and I'm grateful to be considered part of the team!

Tell us about a professional success story that you're proud of.

I'd like to think my professional success story is still being written. A major part of that journey has been the opportunity to work on incredible and challenging projects. For that, I owe a great deal of gratitude to the 4Wall team, first to Michael Cannon, for trusting a young, up-and-coming web developer, and now and always to Wes Bailey and Luke Lytle, who have continuously placed their trust in me and my team, giving us the latitude to make key decisions on their projects.

I'm proud to have grown professionally alongside the 4Wall family.

What is your favorite memory working here?

Well, while I don't technically work for 4Wall, sometimes it sure feels like it! 😜 I have so many great memories, from brainstorming new projects and meeting up just to catch up, to those legendary parties they throw from time to time (you know who you are!). It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful to be part of it.

Do you have any background in the lighting industry?

I do not.

Who are some of your biggest influences?

My mom was and will always be my greatest influence. My wife, Gaby, is also a tremendous inspiration in my life, along with the amazing people around me, especially my children. I learn from them every day, it's refreshing and keeps me growing.

Describe an interesting hobby or pastime that you have.

I'm not sure if it's interesting, but I love building (and rebuilding) things, especially cars. Whenever I get the chance, I buy a crashed car from an auction and work on it tirelessly. I won't stop until it's fully repaired, safe, and ready to hit the road.

I also love video games, and lately, I've been able to play them with my kids, which is really cool!

What is something surprising that not many people know about you?

Maybe the fact that I'm actually pretty good at sports, especially soccer and basketball!

What is one thing you can't live without?

My family, though I'm not sure they count as a 'thing'! 😁 That, and Tic Tacs!

What is something that you've always wanted to try or learn?

I always wanted to learn to play the guitar, I still do.

Tell us about a favorite memory from childhood.

I have so many, but one that stands out is a simple yet unforgettable moment. I was four years old, and snow was rare in my hometown. That day, it was snowing. I sat next to my mom in her room, watching the snow settle on a big tree before melting into the ground. It felt as if time had stopped and nothing else mattered.
