Coach Shanahan who was always passionate about growing the sport of Lacrosse in South Florida, went on to start a brand new program at St. Brendan Catholic High School and he hired me to be his JV Head Coach while I was in college in Miami. It was a school for first generation immigrants from Cuba so the three of us coaches in this photo were the only faculty members who couldn't speak Spanish. The boys had a field day with that.

(2018) But it wasn't enough to work on someone else's show. I had the hunger to write my own. Thus the Web Series, Welcome to Weho, was born out of the minds of myself and my roommate Richie and our friend Morgan.

But without a steady job I needed to pick up a few side hustles. One that I had been doing since I moved to LA was driving for Uber and Lyft. It was a great way to get to know the, but I don't want to know what percentage of my life I've spent sitting in LA traffic.

Final timeline highlight

Rideshare came out in 2023 in the midst of the WGA Strike. Ever since then the entertainment industry has yet to bounce back to where it was when I first moved to LA when there was a lot more opportunity. Over the course of the next 2 years, I continued to work in service jobs to pay off the budget of the web series while promoting it. I was offered a few streaming deals from some up and coming streaming services but none of the offers were enough to cover the cost of production and they wanted to own the web series and the intellectual property. This was the point where I realized I had to make a change in my direction in life. I've been so fulfilled in my creative pursuits but it's become clear that in the current industry climate there's no way for someone to break in without already being established and with Artificial Intelligence on the horizon it doesn't seem like it's going to get any better in the long run. So I thought to myself where can I be creative and get onto the forefront of something new? Well the same thing that would've eventually taken my job if I stayed in entertainment: Artificial Intelligence.
