My name is John, and I\u2019ve spent the past five years immersed in the creative media world\u2014from audio and foley engineering to video production, graphic design, and web\/software development. I\u2019m currently working on one project, leading marketing and media design for <strong>Lixxr &#8211; A Hangover Defense Company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know a lot of people say this, but I truly <em>love<\/em> to learn. Anything involving creative media or technology pulls me in, and my entire education in this field has been self-taught. Countless hours, late nights, and <em>lots<\/em> of coffee have equipped me with the knowledge I possess today. If I don\u2019t understand something, it&#8217;s my nature to learn that topic in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before stepping into creative media as a career, I was just a high-school kid with big dreams in music. I had no guidance, no one to help me develop my brand\u2014so I jumped in with zero knowledge and figured it out along the way. Days turned into weeks, then months, then years, and that path has led me through nearly every corner of the creative world. Along the way I\u2019ve been fortunate to collaborate with incredibly talented people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still love making music and always have personal projects in the works, though that\u2019s not the primary focus of this site. If you\u2019d like to explore that side of my work\u2014my software engineering experiments, audio production, and personal creative journey\u2014feel free to visit my alias under Howard Tren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a song I made called &#8216;put the blame on me&#8217; that I fully produced, mixed and mastered. The video was directed, edited by me alongside with the talented Easton Parkhurst who also filmed the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"put the blame on me\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/43ENN3LMlBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to learn more about me, my work, or my experiences, feel free to contact me <a href=\"https:\/\/johngoleman.com\/?page_id=50\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"50\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks for taking the time to learn about me and my work.
