You Matter Less Than You Think And More Than You Know.

Though fleeting, that truly is the trick. To see beyond yourself is one of the greatest cures to anguish that we so rarely enact because we are too caught up in what we, our selves, believe.

Capturing Light & Magic.

Personally, learning to use a camera has been the biggest asset in my entire career and life in general. As human beings, we’re all looking for a good story, and being able to create and capture amazing visuals is one aspect to being able to tell one yourself.

The EIC Model.

Sure, you can deconstruct the general idea of selling into many different component parts, but at the end of the day, I truly believe that all sales (everything is a sell when you think about it) comes down to three simple steps: Educate, Inspire, Call-to-Action.

Drobo Scare: Mounting Solution.
