About Blake

From serving as an Army combat medic to mastering creative disciplines, my journey has been driven by a passion for learning, teaching, and empowering others to reach their full potential.

My Journey

My path has been anything but conventional. After serving 9+ years in the U.S. Army as a combat medic, I pursued my passion for science and human behavior, earning dual bachelor's degrees in Biology and Psychology from UT San Antonio. My time in the military instilled in me a deep commitment to service, discipline, and excellence—values that continue to guide my work today.

Throughout my journey, I've explored diverse fields—from medical research in suicide prevention to audio production and software development. This multidisciplinary background allows me to approach every project with unique perspectives and creative problem-solving skills.

As a father and lifelong learner, I understand the importance of adaptability and continuous growth. I've channeled these experiences into teaching others, whether through guitar lessons, technical consulting, or career coaching. My mission is to share knowledge and help others unlock their potential.
