What dream are you currently turning into reality?
Oh where to start...I’m honestly always internally scheming on the next moves to make that’ll further my current endeavors. Right now, I’m blessed to be working full time in the music & entertainment industry as a freelance creative (photographer, videographer, creative director).
I also have a print shop in the works that I’ll be launching soon, followed by a clothing line - Both of which stem from my love for traveling and exploring.
There’s also my big dream of taking my work to Los Angeles FULL TIME in the near future - Just working on a couple things right now.
When did you first realize you discovered your dream?
It all started about 5 years ago when I stumbled into the world of Behind The Scenes content capturing. It was for an actor buddy of mine, Sam Brooks, while he was filming for some web series or tv pilot at the time.
Somehow, those photos ended up in front of some producers & music media people who began asking me to do other similar “gigs”.
Realizing I could make an income while hanging out with friends, while also doing something interesting to me had my wheels turning. I haven't stopped since.
How does your faith go hand in hand with pursuing your dream?
Knowing, acknowledging & accepting that wherever I find myself at any given moment is right where I need to be. I’m not meant to know all the answers, and I’m content in that.
Life’s too short to spend it dwelling on things out of our control.
What’s one or two practical steps you take to keep moving forward?
Use your mornings wisely. Whether it's a workout or emails, start with something productive - Put in the work. Your dreams will stay dreams until you make them a reality.
Whether it's on paper, in your calendar, or in your iPhone notes, set intention - Then follow through with them. You’ll be surprised what happens next.
What encouragement would you share with someone who’s going after their dream?
Never stop chasing a life you’re proud and excited to live.
