multi-hyphenate creative and Shwashbuckler
Hi, I'm Dennis, and I wear many hats. I manage multiple roles, responsibilities, jobs, and projects simultaneously while pursuing my creative talents. As a creative inventor, I prioritize innovation and project leadership and value intellectual inquiry and problem-solving.
My entrepreneurial mindset and INTP personality allow me to synthesize knowledge and study systems, uncovering valuable opportunities. I'm endlessly curious and interested in a variety of topics, including art, philosophy, politics, and education.
I'm grateful for the gifts of versatility and adaptability, which allow me to move between different tasks and responsibilities seamlessly.
My guiding ethos is to accept that I am talented and versatile in my creative pursuits and possess a fearless and adventurous spirit. By this compass, I constantly seek new challenges and experiences and aim to use my creativity and ingenuity to overcome obstacles and push boundaries.
I am a calculated risk-taker interested in taking on new projects and exploring new artistic territories.
