## Caption

Two years ago I didn’t know what a codec was. Now the camera pays my bills. Swipe ➡️

I did everything right on paper. Graduated trade school. Received my union card. Worked hard. But life had other plans.

Three years of laying conduit. I walked away from it with no clients, no plan, no safety net. Just my iPhone and two reason it needed to work.

Nobody warns you how bad you’ll be at first. Blown exposures. Bad audio. Free shoots on my own dime. Every mistake was a lesson I had to learn. 

Nobody’s clapping for the days you don’t feel like showing up. But those are the ones that count the most. My family is the reason ! keep going.

That’s when it clicked. I’m not selling videos. I’m selling what a business looks like when someone finally films it right.

Every one of my clients take a chance on me, a guy from Porterville with a camera. I don’t forget that. Ever.

Year two almost done. The goal was never “videographer”. It’s a lot bigger than that. Follow along because you’ll want to be apart of it.
