POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In 2014, I was just a kid skating all over Detroit with a bunch of friends, looking for something to chase.

One night, my friend Luke let me use his camera.

I had no idea it would change my life.

After that summer, I went back to college with no goals or aspirations. I just wanted to party like the movies.

Then one night at the bar, I ran into the Director of Media at my university. Somehow, I talked my way into a job.

That year I was going through a tough break up and let my grades slip. At the same time my university didn’t have a film program, so I had to make a decision…

I decided to dropped out.

My dad was a teacher and the first person in his family to get a degree so naturally, I felt like a failure.

After some self reflecting and soul searching, two of my friends and I decided to move 2,000 miles away with $500 each in our pockets and no jobs.

Arizona gave me the freedom I needed to lock in.

Over the next five years, I started stacking freelance work.

I took every gig I could get. Sports. Events. Weddings. Concerts. Corporate work. Whatever put a camera in my hands.

The hustle never stopped. And the world gave me plenty of reasons to quit.

I didn’t have the degree. I didn’t have the traditional path. I didn’t have someone handing me opportunities.

So I had to create my own.

I learned. I adapted. I kept showing up.

Then in 2021, I got my big break.

After five years of putting in the work, I landed my first big corporate creative job in Detroit.

I was finally getting a chance to do the thing I had been chasing since that night Luke handed me his camera.

And looking back, the funny thing is I never really had a plan.

I just kept saying yes.

Today, I find myself doing things that kid with the camera in 2014 never could have imagined.

I’m a leader in an industry I had no degree in and no traditional path into.

I didn’t have the credentials.

I didn’t have the connections.

I didn’t have a plan.

But I had a camera.

Popped out at @vintagefestdetroit with @dirtbagvault 🏄‍♂️

Tony and I have known each other for over 10 years and have been trying to shoot for a while now. This event was the perfect start to a long partnership.

Not only did we create a movie, but I was able to network and meet a ton of people in the vintage space.

Huge shoutout to @vintagefestdetroit for throwing a banger. Can’t wait for the next event. 🏄‍♂️
