It's certainly been a year huh! Lots to look forward to. Lets keep climbing the mountain, every moment we're getting closer to where we want to be. Keep pushing forward. 🫡 Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤

I heard someone paraphrase this quote from from Economist Milton Friedman, which stood out to me so much I wanted to share with you: “The way you change things is not by putting the right people into office. The way that you really change things is by creating a climate of public opinion where it becomes politically profitable for the ...

Has me reading about the past I’m reading a book called Abundance Through Scarcity by Ioni Appelberg, and here’s a quote regarding Roman Collesiums that I found so interesting: ““Romans, by comparison, possessed both the materials and engineering acumen to construct structures of unmatched resiliency. They harnessed technologies that, ...

I’m always working on looking at things from a glass half full perspective. I’ve tried ChatGPT here and there and I’ve found it to be pretty useful, which ultimately is the point of any new technology right? To make our lives better. You know what wasn’t around when I was 13 years old doing research reports? Google! I remember using du...

There are only a handful of things that are certain in life, we all know what they are, so why is it that a sense of uncertainty regarding what my next project is, always leaves me feeling a little… lost? As I stream of conscious write this, I realize that I have to reframe my way of thinking and look at it through a positive lens. For...

As we get closer to potentially flying back to LA in December (I miss you In N Out! 🍔) I’ve found it a real pain in the ass trying to find an apartment when there’s a 10 hour time zone difference. We found a place we liked, only to be told it wouldn’t be ready until January! I’m telling myself that I have to be patient and everything w...

I was writing in my journal this morning and thoughts about my career and where I’m at occurred to me. Here’s what I wrote that I’d love your thoughts on: Career wise - I wonder if I’ll ever be content? Will I forever go from chasing one thing to the next? Ultimately, I know what I want my career to look like, I guess what I’m asking m...

Hey there! This one is super random but I’ve always been curious about other peoples desk setups. I love learning how everyone works and seeing what tools they use to get things done. I’m currently traveling so forgive me as I don’t have a real “desk” but here’s a picture of my mobile setup on any given day. • iPad Pro 12.9 inch (2021)...

I’m slowly realizing that if there’s something you want to do, write the script, start your YouTube channel, build your website, hire your first employee, there’s truly no time like the present. It’s easy to put off certain things until we have the PERFECT amount of time allocated for it, but what if there’s no such thing? What if we d...

Not going to lie, I’m a bit concerned by just how much I don’t remember about portions my life. Friends and Family tell me stories of things we been through together, and I honestly don’t know what they’re talking about. I could barley tell you what happened in High School! Memories over the last 5 - 7 years are kinda clear but when yo...

I was talking to some friends of mine recently about Self Worth. One thing they made me realize is we can’t tie our self worth to anyones opinion of us. Ultimately, how we react to others opinions also reflects on us, and our expectations from that relationship. Why give someone so much power? We should always tell ourselves how amazin...

I came across this really insightful quote from Finding Nemo that I’d like to share with you. It stirred some interesting thoughts. It made me think about the many times in my life where I was afraid speak up, even though I knew the answer, walk up to the girl that made eye contact, fearing she might not be interested, or asking for a ...

We’re now on Day 72 of 85 here in Australia on Disney’s “Nautilus”. It’s wild for me to think that we’ll be back in the US in just a few weeks! I’ve gotten comfortable in Australia and will really miss our wonderful crew. 😭 There’s a chance we might move again this fall for a movie, so it’s difficult to justify moving into another apar...

We’re halfway through the shoot. Day 41 of 81: It’s hard to believe that the amazing people I spend 10 - 12 hours a day with, are the same individuals I’ll no longer see on a daily basis once we wrap and leave Australia. That’s the interesting thing about the film industry, you form these friendships, go through this battle together of...

To think that this has been something in the works since August 2021. Given the pandemic and Australia being locked down, it’s certainly been a stressful few months of not knowing whether it would work out or not, but I’m really excited that we are officially going to Australia to work on the Disney+ television show Nautilus! This will...

I just want to say, I really appreciate you taking the time to read my ramblings. I’ve had such a wonderful time engaging with you on interesting topics and I’m certainly looking forward to what the future has in store for all of us! There’s something so nice about a clean slate. If you have goals for 2022, the following quotes are for...

The other night I was looking at my son, who is 21 months old right now, or should I say he’ll be 2 in three months haha, and I became so aware of time and how it just keeps going. To see him standing there, grabbing food and doing stuff for himself, it threw me for a moment. I remember vividly him being so small, not being able to mov...

I went for a walk the other night and I thought about how I’ve been so focused on what could potentially happen in my life, that I haven't taken the time to enjoy the holiday season! I was kinda disappointed in myself because I genuinely look forward to the months of November and December every year. From here on out, I'll aim to enjoy...

Hey friends, Lately, I’ve been spending so much time worried about what’s happening tomorrow, next week, hell, even 6 months from now and it’s been exhausting! Mix in a little Imposter Syndrome, and it's a classic case of stressing out over what I can’t control. I fell out of my routine of calm mornings and instead, I immediately fell ...

Even though I’ve had great experiences producing commercials and worked on a really amazing movie (more to come!), there are times when I’m about to dive into a new project and I have that worrying feeling that I won’t be able to deliver. I have a moment where I say to myself: “Wow what am I getting myself into? ” No matter how qualifi...

You ever have those days where you’re nostalgic for the old times? I saw some old photos recently and began to feel that way. Looking at myself in the photo, it felt like the times back then were much more simple and light hearted compared to now. What’s funny is, in the actual moment the photo was taken, I was also nostalgic for when ...

Outside of working on movies, (did you see our Oscar Nominated film "Love and Monsters" 😆) I've been dipping my toe into Producing commercials and so far, I've really enjoyed the experience! Here's a look at the latest commercial I Produced for a company called Betterhelp (we made a total of 5!), and below I'll talk a little bit about ...

Even though the job pays well and the savings account is plump, we sometimes work from home in our pj's feeling incredibly unsatisfied, like there’s so much more we could accomplish, but we don’t always make the change, why? For me, back in 2016, I was in a similar position. I worked my ass off to make a new life for myself here in Cal...

I recently read a book called Making Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky & one of the major takeaways I got from the book is having a daily highlight. It's easy to get lost in a sea of things to do on our lists, but what if we focused on one or two things per day, that actually moved the needle, getting us closer to our long term goal...

This might sound weird, but there are days where I spend about 20 minutes or more laying on the couch, looking out the window in front of me. The trees blowing in the wind, along with the ambient sounds of mother nature. It's really nice to take the time and be one with your own thoughts without any other inputs. There's an interesting...

Hey friends! It's scary starting something new, but one thing I've realized is nothing is as scary as we make it out to be. I'm one of those people that over thinks everything, constantly 2nd guessing myself, but over the last few years, I've been learning to just go with my gut and keep climbing the mountain. I feel like at a certain ...

I stress about things that are out of my control, only to take a step back and realize that me going down a rabbit hole of worry, doesn't help me see the situation any clearer. Things begin to get foggy. When you're in a mood, you don't want to hear anyone tell you that it's going to be ok, and you know what, it's your right to ignore ...

For a long time, I’ve always repeated this phrase in my head “No expectations, no disappointments.” The funny thing I realized is, in telling myself to not have any expectations, clearly, I kinda had expectations! I believe we’re all filled with so much good and we generally do mean well, but at some point, we will disappoint each othe...

Congratulations to Love and Monsters for the Visual Effects Oscar nomination today! It was an incredible experience working on the film for roughly a year and a half. I can't begin to tell you how much I got to learn while I worked at Paramount, and then jumping onto Love and Monsters. Getting to work day to day with director Michael M...

What is it about the weekend that makes us slow things down? There's something so fun about waking up on Saturday and Sunday mornings where the days feel full of relaxation and time well spent with family and friends, yet during the week, there's always a sense that we need to be getting things done. Do you feel this way or is it just ...
