I grew up in Springfield, Missouri. In 2008 I decided I wanted to join the United States Army as an Airborne Infantry Solider. In 2011 I married my beautiful wife lurin Jones Carlin, and we have two wonderful little girls, Taelyn and Tenley. After getting out of the military, I decided to get my real estate license. I now operate a real estate firm in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina. During my time as a real estate agent, I was pushed by the firm I worked for to start shooting more videos. This has led me to something I enjoy. I decided to use my GI Bill to go back to school. That's when I found FullSail University and began working on becoming an incredible Cinematographer.
