Planning your life is a road to disappointment.  

​

Words I live by based on my life experiences.  Every great success I had was a curveball, thrown to "ruin" my life plans.  Film school, joining the Air Force, even starting my own business and going back to school both times.  None of these happened as I planned and they all worked out greater for my life then I ever could have expected.

​

BACKGROUND

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois I spent the majority of my youth fostering urges of creativity and nurturing my business acumen.  I would read and watch videos about business, while honing my writing skills and taking advantage of all creative outlets I could find such as music, web design, after school programs (filmmaking and business) just to name a few.  In my youth, the business side took a back seat to the fun of developing new ideas.  In my teen to early adult years, the business urge took the forefront.  Now I am in a place where both seem balanced and I have enough knowledge to use them both in tandem to create something special people will appreciate, something I have fun doing, and something that will lead me to future endeavors within the realm of work I have been striving to do my whole life.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

In 2008, I graduated from MPI, the Motion Picture Institute, located in Troy, MI. In 2010, I started a video production company, Appreciate The Image. In 2013, I graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor's Degree in Web Design and Development. In June 2018, I completed my Master's Degree in Public Relations from Full Sail University while continuing my service in the US Air Force. I seperated to veteran status in 2021. I have since become a contractor and moved to Australia for work where i endeavor to share  with you my collected Appreciated Images.
