Ever since my youth I've been pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities. I started with a small lawn care business out of the trunk of my first car to make a little extra cash on top of my allowance my parents gave me for all those super fun chores most of us were tasked with. Photography was my biggest interest growing up, aside from vehicle modification. I spent most days after school working on whatever car I possessed at the time or my friends cars. I started to seriously get into photography and videography shortly after graduating high school. I attended UCA for one semester and decided college wasn't the path for me. I thought I wanted to pursue automotive mechanics so I continued on to working at car dealerships changing oil and trying to learn more about that career. After bouncing around a few different jobs, I landed another oil change job at Subaru of Little Rock, where I ended up working in the parts dept for 6 years. Here I made many connections, even my first business partner, who I formed SpyArk Media with. We parted ways after about a year, but I kept the company alive. It was never more than a "side hustle" while working for Subaru, but it allowed for fun travels on the weekends and many new connections. Whilst at Subaru I met a guy also on the path of entrepreneurship, who became my business partner of Slick Auto Care. We both quit our jobs and started this new journey, which we're on now.
