Air Force Vet • Digital Marketer • Olympic Weightlifter • Bourbon Enthusiast
The Background
Air Force veteran. Filipino American, raised in Oakland. Colorado Springs local. I started out teaching electrical systems, then pivoted into digital marketing and never looked back. Spent 7+ years agency-side in SEO, CRO, and marketing ops building systems that actually scale.
Outside of work I train Olympic weightlifting at Vardanian Weightlifting under Norik Vardanian and Jenny Arthur. I co-owned a music studio in Baltimore. I ran a CrossFit gym for three years before the barbell called louder.
Bourbon Bass & Barbells started as a side project and became a 20K+ follower brand across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Built without spending a dollar on ads. I also just became a dad. The morning routine hits different now.
