"Every Goal is a Starting Line, Not a Destination"I began my academic life early, and immersed in film and television. As a child actor, I spent 10 years in front of the camera working with the likes of Jim Carrey, Michael Jordan, Drew Carrey, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. While pursuing my Film & Business at CSU Fullerton, I worked my way up the ranks at DaVita Dialysis, concluding my tenure as a Business Project Analyst certified and Project Management Protocols and having a Six Sigma Green Belt. in 2014, I transitioned into film, producing Kickboxer: Vengeance and Kickboxer: Retaliation for Headmon and Radar EntertainmentIn 2015, I partnered with Filmmaker Chris Bell (Bigger, Stronger, Faster*) to create socially conscious documentaries such as Prescription Thugs and A Leaf of Faith, about the opioid crisis and its potential solution, respectively. After spending years hearing the same devastating story that plagues so many Americans, I decided I could no longer sit idly by without trying to make an impact in today's opioid epidemic. With this, I partnered with Natural Organix with the intention of getting Kratom into the hands of every person in this nation that could need it. Through my work with Natural Organix, and eventually Choice Botanicals and NuWave Botanicals, I'm so blessed to confidently say I have changed, helped, and even saved the lives of more men and women than I can count, by utilizing friendships and partnerships from my days in entertainment to spread education and combat misinformation, getting Kratom on the radar of millions of Americans through social media.As the fight to keep kratom legal, regulated, and available continues, I remain vigilant in my work. By selling it to those who want it, we are able to give it to those who need it.I continue to uphold my moral mission in whatever avenue I pursue and foster relationships and sales through transparency and education above all else.
