A few years later I enlisted in the United States Marine Corp in 2000 and served until 2020. Durning which time I continued to sharpen my skills, learning and reading books about video production. In 2016 I started my business D&S Videography and Photography LLC, and in 2019 I earned my bachelor's of science degree in Management / Computer information Systems.

Upon retiring from the Marine Corps in 2020 me and my family relocated to Sugar Hill GA, I went back to college to complete my degree in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production from The Art Institute of Atlanta.
