Turned 31 this week 🥳

This past year was wild:

📸 Got to go on a bucket list trip to Sony Kando
💡 Worked on meaningful projects
🎥 Got to kick it with creator friends at my first NAB
🔴 Hit 200k on YouTube
🍼 & became a Dad to a beautiful baby girl

This year has been wild but at the same time, I’ve been in this constant state of intentionally slowing down.

I’ve been learning how to let go of my selfish ambitions, and allow God to redefine what it truly means to be successful.

My goal, each and every day, has been to simply walk with God.

In turn this grows the fruits of the Spirit in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

It’s from that place I can do my best work, and be the best husband, father, friend that I can be.

I’m the happiest I’ve been in my life, and the most fulfilled. And I’m so excited to see what 31 will bring.

I’ve got lots of thoughts, and things I want to share with you all soon, but in the meantime, thank YOU for following along, and as always…

Stay Creative ✌🏻

My brand new course is HERE!

Having an online course has been a dream of mine for years, and I decided to create this specific one, since it’s what I get the most questions about!

Learn Video Lighting is geared towards content creators, online educators, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers

In this course I condense everything I’ve learned about lighting over the past 10 years, into a power packed 90 minutes to help you go further faster!

If you are creating online content, this course will show you how to leverage light to your advantage so that you can stand out and get results!

You will learn:
The fundamentals of lighting
How to get pro looks on a budget
How lighting works with your camera
See real world styles and set ups
& More!

I’m so excited to finally launch it, and for this week only it is 50% off!

Welcome to the next LVL

This is one of the hardest videos I’ve made in a long time…

Just released a new video that tells the story of my whole career as a content creator, taking it back to when I first started making videos in high school.

This was extremely nostalgic, and made me look back on my past, all the ups and downs, and everything in between.

It’s crazy to see how all of these major life events and choices led me to this place now on YouTube.

One of my favorite texts of all time is from the Bible, it says “in his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps”

It’s been a faith journey, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here’s a couple of pictures of my journey, going all the way back to high school with a screenshot of the first time I ever filmed myself talking.

I hope you all enjoy this video! Thank you all so much for following along and being part of the creative crew!

This is still just the beginning.

80,000 Subs... Thank You. 🙏🏻

I’m blown away that I am stepping into being a YouTuber as a career path.

I’ve loved the past 6+ years of freelancing, capturing weddings, music videos, promo videos, and owning multiple businesses... but I feel like all the ups and downs of it were a set up for this.

I LOVE getting to show tips and tricks, encourage, and share with all of you up and coming creatives.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to watch these videos I’ve been making. I feel like I’m barely even scratching the surface of ideas that I have for the channel! BUT, none of it would even be possible without YOU! Thank you ❤️

Stay tuned, and as always, stay creative! ✌🏻
