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 into my third year of military service in the US Air Force. Now my free time will be dedicated to my new passion of sharing my fellow brothers and sisters stories so we can all enjoy their collected Appreciated Images.
