  HAS THE WAY I PERCEIVE MEDIA CHANGED? Media is a very powerful tool on the internet or TV and can be used in so many different ways including spreading news, bullying, pushing an agenda etc. I believe it depends how a person chooses to use media is how I will perceive the media.  For instance when I use social media now it is not to push an agenda at all it is to simply grow fighters brands and cover what is going on in the sport of MMA. However when I was a kid I was just like most kids and used it to antagonize and get in to drama. I think if you are using media to push agendas, spread fake news or bully people I can't stand it. If you are spreading real news, pushing good agendas I guess you could say and are helping grow peoples brands as athletes I think the media is good. Media spreads like wildfire no matter what type of media it is. I did a fighter interview one time and it blew up across 20 plus media outlets and had over a million views likes and comments. If you a...

  FAMILY TIME  Family is probably the most important thing to me in the world and outside of my parents and grand parents nobody is more special to me than my fiance and daughter. I have been with my partner for about 10 years since I was a sophomore and 4 years ago we welcomed our little girl Olivia.  She is obviously much bigger now but this is my little family in the pictures above. Through my worst times and best times these are the people who have never let me down. My future wife Maddy has really followed my journey and supported it as I follow my dreams through the world of Mixed Martial Arts. The least I could do for her is get this degree and turn it into something not only for myself but my family. I'm sure a lot of you have the same feeling about your family. In my world they are everything. The memories we make on vacations and going place are irreplaceable. My daughter is the greatest gift from god and no matter what I got through in life she can always put a...

HASHTAGS  Hashtags are a really cool thing to learn how to use especially when you are trying to get a particular post out there for people to see. I know that hashtags are very useful for getting more engagement on social media as well for media and content creators especially.  I tend to use a lot of hashtags as in the field I am in I need all the engagement I can get not only for my content but for the athletes as well to help grow their brand. Before I started media I never really cared about hashtags but my friends sure did. However they have become a big part of what I do on social media. When I make a post some important ones that are must use are things like the fighters name, the weight class they're in, the promotion they fight for and of course #MMA! Those are the most important ones and then of course hashtag the country they are from.  I feel like when it comes to MMA it is important to hashtag stuff that relates to country and culture with fighters who are n...

  Sports! Who doesn't love sports? I mean seriously! I am a huge Dodgers, Raiders, Lakers and Kings fan and probably have a half closet full of jerseys and autographs. Growing up I named all my animals after my favorite players and sports teams if my parents let me. Growing up it was damn near all I knew.  I have always loved to travel to see my teams play and in the picture above is a perfect example. I drove to Cincinnati to watch the Raiders get whooped. Talk about a long car ride home. I played football, baseball and wrestled as a kid and into high school. I had a scholarship to Missouri Valley to play football but failed a class senior year and watched my whole life crumble. Watching how hard that was on my dad who dedicated years to me and my athletic career really sucked and now I get to watch sports as a fan instead of as a player which is fine now but it took a couple years to get over it. I have been to La, Seattle, St.Louis, Cinci, Arizona, Chicago, San Diego and Ka...

  ARIZONA NEEDS MORE GRADS! OR DO THEY? Hi there again today I am here to talk about an article that governor Ducey wrote about Arizona needing more college graduates. In the article  LINK  he explains that education leads to more opportunity. From a student perspective I agree because it's giving me the biggest opportunity of my lifetime to work for the UFC as a public relations specialist. However, some things in life don't require education to turn into a career. My mom has been with her company for 30 years and lives an amazing life. I watched my mom work her tail off to get to this point and I can truly say as a child I had everything I could want or at least need because of my moms hard work. Not everyone can afford college either and don't get enough in student loans or aid to complete school so they never go for it because they know they can't finish. On another note I disagree especially in a state like Arizona that has so many needs for tradesman who get paid ...

  FUNNY MOVIES ARE THE BEST! Hi there again! I wanted to come on here and talk about funny movies. Have you ever just sat there and watched a funny movie and laughed so hard you can't breathe? That's the way I felt when Superbad came out. I laugh just thinking about the stupid stuff that happens in that movie. Although I'm not here to talk about Superbad you get the point.  My childhood was built off watching funny movies with my family or friends but mostly my friends. We would go to the store and get a bunch of snacks and probably watch movies our parents would never let us watch. That stuck with me as I got older. I still to this day love to watch funny movies or stuff that is so stupid that it makes it hilarious. My friends and I used to watch funny movies all weekend long if you let us and my wife and I will watch them still to this day. Sometimes it feels good to get away from reality for 2-4 hours and do nothing but laugh. As we get older were always so worried about...
