About me
Biography
I grew up in Jacksonville, FL and have always loved animals of all kinds! I volunteered at the Zoo for years, and have had so many different types of animals throughout my life. I was the kid catching lizards and bugs to show everyone who didn't want to see them. Now, my passion is animals and conservation of the animals and nature that I love deeply!
Where it all changed
BME started before this as a dream and on Instagram. After November 2024, it all changed! I met Paul Cuffaro at Aquashella Dallas 2024, and he asked me to aquascape his 125 gallon freshwater planted tank. Being a fan for many years, I was VERY excited to see what I watched on YouTube in person. Fast forward to the present, and I am one of the lucky ones getting to work on the PC Farm. I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! This one video of Paul's got me on the YouTube map, and it has been growing ever since!
Fun Fact!
I love cars! I learned how to do a lot of mechanic work, and love to modify cars too. This was at Universal Studios in FL. As you can see, I was VERY excited to have my first Fast & the Furious sweatshirt on plus see all the movie cars and ride!!! One of my dreams is to have a Subaru BRZ or Toyota GR86.
My loves ♥

Scapes
This entire journey started with aquascaping. I have always loved the water and nature surrounding the water. I strive to create ecosystems within a glass box to bring nature inside. The way my scapes are setup, it creates an ecosystem so that the inhabitants feel comfortable in their surroundings. This bring out their natural behaviors and colors! I am also a nerd, and like to learn the science behind why something is happening. I am no scientist, but I enjoy learning what I can! Here are some examples of my scapes:
