I aspire to get my Master's Degree in English mostly concentrating on writing and creative writing. I have very high hopes to eventually get my doctorate. In my spare time; I write, read, watch Anime, go to Multi-media Conventions, and cosplay" (costume players, not on sage, representing characters in any venue).

His experience as a drum major for the national Honor Band in the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade and his award as State Instrumentalist of the Year were two of the highlights of his music career.
