* I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale Florida until I left home for college in 2008 to attend Alabama State University.

​

* Smooth Produktionz was created in college as one of my first projects in the college of business; which I knew at that point would be a need for my business and/or other businesses to have content for marketing products or services. 

​

* My drive for wanting to learn every aspect of my business is what pushed me to take business classes, purchase a camera, and practice with family and friends; in addition to recording and mixing music in my dorm room for classmates. 

​

* Recognized as one of the top business students in my class, I was granted access to my first serious business experience within the Alabama State University Collegiate Athletic Department; where I was granted the opportunity to draft the first Marketing Plan for our newly built football stadium.

​

* Upon graduating Dec. 2012, I was offered a corporate job with the CINTAS corporation as a Management Trainee. The experience and exposure granted by my general manager gave me insight, knowledge, and ultimately the confidence to believe in my abilities to be a true leader. The results of my hands-on experience working in multiple departments gave me an understanding of how big corporations are run, and everything needed to be a profitable business.

​

* I lived in Long Beach California where I helped build fitness brands, and implement sales & marketing plans for personal trainers including myself. Yes, I was a personal & virtual trainer for a segment of my life, which is when I created my first official website that sold fitness programs and videos.

​

* I moved to Chicago in January 2015. Being in the Windy City I was granted the opportunity to work for MSI within the partner sales division, where I managed a multi-million dollar territory and implemented marketing and sales initiatives to increase the success of my managed partners. 

​

* Successfully exceeding my quotas quarterly at my job, while still working in the evenings and weekends to build Smooth Produktionz, I was offered a promotion that moved me to Houston TX. 

​

* Although faced with many challenges throughout 2018, I managed to finally incorporate my business in September of 2018 in the state of Texas; which you now know as Smooth Produktionz Multimedia & Branding LLC.

​

* Throughout 2019 I have been granted numerous opportunities throughout the Greater Houston region from professional photoshoots, to wedding & event videography, to personal brand content creation, and business opportunities from simply sharing my business knowledge and technical skills.

​

* After traveling numerous times throughout the year back and forth from Houston to Chicago, I have recently relocated to Chicago, IL to supply the high demand for my skills and services. Although most people would not move back to Chicago in the winter, I have been blessed with opportunities that will not only end my year perfectly but start my 2020 on the #NextLevel.
