Mantra or quote you want to share:
“The two things in life you can control are your effort and how you treat people.”
What’s out there right now that is inspiring you?
The opportunity to be better than I was the day before especially in this industry. Nothing ever stays the same and it’s my job to stay on top of it while fine-tuning my skills and learning new ones.
Do you have any favorite apps, gadgets, or hardware?
I’ve become a fan of the SCRL app for the cool-looking Instagram carousels that would take me hours in photoshop before. It expedites the process for me and saves me a headache.
What’s something some people may not know about you?
I’m played college baseball at THEE Jackson State University for a short while. Racing has been my life but I was able to swing it a bit.
Who is someone you want to give some much-deserved credit?
My coworker Alejandro Alvarez is one of the most inspiring people I’ve worked with. His creativity along with the willingness to fail in the public eye of social is inspiring and makes me want to push the limits more myself every day.
What is a piece of content you are obsessed with from another creator or brand?
The Ricky Witt/Raiders runout video has been on my mind a lot lately. My skill set is more photography-based than video, but my goal is to grow that skill this year. There is just something about that video that has just stuck with me. The smoothness of the video but also the way he thought of turning a basic runout video into something greater is amazing to me.
