I’ve always hated gay culture. Maybe it’s because I’m more of a black skinny-jean and t-shirt kinda guy over rainbows. Regardless of fashion choices, I’ve never felt like I belonged. Using the phrase out of context, “in it, not of it” truly describes my relationship to the gay community. I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. It’s…

2018. What a year. As I'm sitting to reflect on what, from the outside, looks like a horrible roller coaster that I couldn't get off of – I've realized that 2018 was a breakthrough year for me. 2018 started in disaster. One of the largest design projects I'd ever been asked to be apart of fell apart. My company lost time, money, and took us a…

Our generation has an insatiable desire to be discovered. We want to go from zero to ten overnight. In our day to day stories, feeds, and live streams, we have this need to be seen and heard.

I couldn't sleep…

Have you ever wondered why some people fail and others succeed? I've been curious about this question my entire life. At 25, I've lived just enough life to see friends I've grown up with make something of themselves. Some are now lawyers, doctors, celebrities, and others are still at the same place in life they were at 18 years old. Why is this?…

Intention comes from the Latin word, Intentio which means stretching, thought, purpose. I came across this and found it fitting as we bring 2017 to a close. Wow. What a year. Looking back there were great strides as well as mistakes made. I spent more time out of Arkansas this year than I ever have in my entire life. I completely reworked my…
