In a world where our community's rich tapestry of stories faces the risk of being suppressed, hidden, or even erased in the coming years, it's more important than ever to ensure every voice is heard. I'm reaching out to nonprofits, community leaders, corporations, and everyone who has the means to invest in storytelling. By partnering with dedicated journalists, songwriters, filmmakers, and other passionate storytellers, we have the unique opportunity to preserve and celebrate the narratives that define our communities. I feel deeply that keeping our community's stories alive isn't just about honoring our past, it's about safeguarding our future. With so much at stake, we need to act now. Many of these important stories are in danger of being lost, and it’s up to us to bring them into the light before they vanish. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the trailblazers already paving the way: Tara Jae, PhD, MFA of YouthSeen, the El Pomar Foundation, the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC, Patrick Nelson with D2, Preston Goff with The Exodus Road, the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region, Benjamin Anderson at SOLID ROCK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION and SO many others. Their commitment to capturing and sharing diverse narratives, from our business leaders and vibrant youth to our arts supporters and underserved communities, it is an inspiration. Let’s invest in the power of storytelling. By doing so, we not only document our collective history but also create a foundation for a future enriched with understanding, activism, inspiration, and unity. Now is the time to ensure that the stories of our community remain vibrant, resilient, and ever-present for generations to come.

Today marks a moment I’ve been looking forward to for weeks, the launch of Kimberly Gold's announcement as a candidate for City Council. But what truly moved me was the honor of being part of this campaign. When Kimberly asked Guerrilla Media to lead the visuals for her campaign, I didn’t hesitate. I’ve seen her heart for people, her passion for the community, and her genuine drive to make this city a better place. Saying “yes” was a no-brainer. This project also made me reflect on the power of the phrase “I trust you.” As a video professional, those words can sometimes feel empty, too often translating to, “I trust you…to do this as quickly and cheaply as possible, exactly how I tell you to do it.” But with Kimberly, I knew she meant it. The collab with Kimberly Gold, Kimberly Davis, and myself resulted in something simple yet impactful: no fluff, no b-roll of staged moments, no clichés. Just Kimberly, directly and honestly connecting with the community. That straightforwardness and authenticity? We felt like it’s exactly what’s been missing lately, and I’m proud of what we accomplished. What do you think? LET’S GO 4 GOLD! ????

Super excited to share something awesome I got to work on! A big thanks to the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPeR) for letting me be part of their latest project, which was all about showing off the highlights from their AEP 6 review. ?? Shoutout to Angela Seals for her super supportive words and leadership, and to Dylan Craddock for producing and scripting this project and making it all happen! What started as a pretty simple task turned into something way cooler, because we decided to add some animations and really take it to the next level, just like we love to do at Guerrilla Media. I’m really proud of how it turned out and I’d love to know what you guys think! Give it a look and hit me up with your thoughts!
