Hi, I’m Aiden! Thank you so much for checking out my portfolio.

I’m a musician and a content creator, with a passion for video production and social media marketing.

My specialties include: content creation, social media marketing, video production (writing, producing, hosting, editing, thumbnails, etc), and recording services (songwriting, engineering, producing, mixing, and mastering).

The following sections will serve as a visual timeline for my work experience thus far... Enjoy!

Who Am I?

How I Started

From 5th grade through sophomore year of high school (age 10-15), I started exploring the world of production. What started as making Youtube videos with my buddies soon turned into:

  • Getting hired for a variety of contract gigs (local commercials, weddings, social media content)

  • Volunteering for my church’s production team (running live sound, lights, cameras, projectors, and directing cameras). [2012-2017]

  • Emceeing Wednesday night services for my youth group. [2014-2017]

  • Asked to be a junior co-host for a local radio station. [2015]

Intermission (Fine Dining)

  • From age 15-22, I fell in LOVE with the world of fine dining. Through working as an Expo, Server, and Bartender, I learned the majority of my personal skills like communication, time management, personal selling, teamwork, enhanced customer service, experience building, etc.

Fun Fact: In 2023, I was hand-picked to serve a pop-up dinner with Alex Belew, the winner of Hell’s Kitchen Season 21… (I still dream about his Smoked Cheesecake)

Content // Marketing

  • During a field trip with my senior, advertising class to Jewelry Television, I learned that my passion for production was more alive than ever. That trip, in addition to the other business classes I took in high school, were the pieces that influenced my pursuit of a marketing degree.

  • At the same time, I was casually building years of social media marketing experience, as I would promote the various bands I was in. Whether I was promoting shows, scouting talent, writing music, managing teams up to 15 people, designing media, or creating content, I continued putting in my “10,000 hours” towards my passion.

Resume // Achievements

  • In August 2024, I proudly graduated from MTSU with my Bachelor’s in Marketing!

  • In the Dale Carnegie Course, I was the recipient of the highest achiever award for demonstrating exceptional soft skills in both an in-person and remote setting.

  • At my “intern graduation” ceremony at TechnologyAdvice, I was awarded with the “most likely to be a creative superstar,” as awarded from TA’s various department heads and managers. This review is from my former manager, Justin McKenzie.
