We are so thrilled to be able to connect with some of the brightest and most inspiring entrepreneurs and creatives from across the city and beyond and this series in particular gives us the honor of introducing these folks to you in a unique way – we go beyond the story of how they got to where they are today by asking them to reflect on a variety of deeper questions that we hope will help you better connect with them, their stories and their brands. Ultimately, our hope is that more of us will spend more of our money with independent artists, creatives and small businesses and we think getting to know one another at a deeper level is step one.

I think it IS real . The way I see it. None of us ever die. We just make a choice whether we’re going to be in Heaven or Hell . I follow the teaching of Jesus best I can . The Bible teaches we are for sure sinners and that He died to take the punishment for our sin. Read more>>

Most people, when they think of video production, think of us ‘building’ or ‘editing’ video content, and maybe some strategies that go with that.

Suffering taught me dependence on God in a way that success never could. In the moments when everything felt broken, I discovered His strength holding me together. Pain became the place where pride was stripped away and faith was built. Success often shows you what’s possible with your effort, but suffering shows you what’s only possible through His grace.

I’’d have to say there has been three moments in my life. The day I married my wife, the day my kids were born. And the day I had to sit with my kids to say goodbye at my wife’s bedside.. Each a pivotable moment in shaping my perspective on the life that we are given, and what we choose to do with it. Read more>>

What an interesting question! I guess I do have a coping mechanism of processing hard moments through songwriting. In the past, I have written positivity jams (a song about self acceptance called ‘Good Enough’) or songs about escapism called ‘Treehouse’ and ‘Typewriter’, but lately I have not been trying to spin the experiences as much.
