Q: Why do you make tee shirts?
A: "I like to design them."

Q: How did being a child actor affect your growth and development as a person?
A: "It made me into something of a beast, but a beast with a kind heart; like the beast from Beauty and The Beast, probably. I haven't seen the film, but he must have had a kind heart if a beauty fell in love with him."

Q: What fictional character or historical figure do you most liken yourself to?
A: "Probably Einstein."

Q: When did you adopt the "Tickler" monicker?
A: "If you ask me another question like that I'm gonna beat the snot out of you."

Q: What was the first shirt you made, and how did you come up with the idea?
A: "I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working at my job, in July of 2025. Working the cash register. After helping a customer, I went to wash the dishes in the sink. I washed the dishes for like 30 minutes, and then I went back to the counter to help another customer. Then, I wiped down all the tables. But, as I was wiping down one of the tables, it hit me: "I'm with smart." One month later, I opened up Microsoft Paint and designed the shirt. And from there, the ideas just kept on coming."

Q: What does a 'day in the life' of the CEO of Tickler Tee Shirts look like?
A: "I wake up, go to my 11th-grade classes, and think about how I was born in Denver, Colorado."

Q: Why did you stop acting, and what was your last production?
A: "I stopped acting because it interfered with me attening cross country practices, and my final performance was in the winter of 2022, being A Christmas Carol at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. I think that my time as an actor certainly contributed to my creative tendencies in making shirts."
