OFFBEAT PATHWAYS

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I spent most of my 20s working in the film industry. My first YouTube video was in 2007, and I wish I had stayed consistent and created weekly videos back then. Life just got in the way, and one company I worked for was strict about social media. Growing up, I was into the outdoors, but after High School, I became more of a city boy. At about 35, I began to re-engage with the outdoors. My creative idea for my channel is to do outdoor content with a sarcastic sense of humor, while also just covering life after 40 as a single male and maybe discussing popular topics from a skeptical point of view. During COVID-19, I lost 3 people close to me and was also on the ID challenge unemployment wait list for 4 months. I finally got my unemployment and was paid a lump sum, but all that money went to pay off my credit I was living off of for 4 months. Due to this drama and stress, I gained about 70 lbs.
