My journey doesn’t really have an official start date. Growing up I have always been inspired by people and their stories. I loved reading books and was involved with theatre and acting throughout my childhood – which led me on my path into the entertainment industry. Read more>>

When I was in high school, if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “A Wedding Planner”. I’ve always loved celebrations. As a child, I found any excuse to throw a party and was often found decorating, testing new recipes, or engaged in DIY projects. Read more>>

My parents divorced when I was a toddler and sports quickly became an outlet for me. I found an unusual amount of joy in playing catch for hours with any type of ball that was available. I could dribble a basketball for hours pretending there was a defender on me and shoot in grocery carts as if they were basketball hoops. Read more>>

I come from a family of attorneys, so I always had that in mind and understood the challenges and rewards that the practice of law could provide. Of all the attorneys in my family however, I was the first female (although there are a few more now!) Read more>>

I initially got my start in the music industry at a very young age. During my teenage years I was a singer-songwriter in Toronto and dedicated my life to making music and creating a lifestyle that revolved around that process. Within a short timeframe I managed to make my first album and sell over 10,000 copies on my own without any label assistance. Read more>>

I started doing hair and makeup back in my hometown of Westport, Ma. I grew up on the east coast and loved style, fashion, glamour, hair, makeup etc. I always wanted to do something bigger. Since I’m from a small town I dealt with a lot of judgmental people with different mindsets than myself. Read more>>

My journey probably started in Detroit, MI somewhere around first grade, when my teacher Mrs. Baczynski, went through our class and asked each child aloud what we wanted to be when we got older. Standing up I proudly proclaimed “when I grow up I’m going to be an entrepreneur!” Read more>>
Mitchell Jones
I was born and raised in South Georgia. A very small rural area where the entire population of the city, is close to the population of an area such as San Fernando Valley, California. Being born into a Farming/Agriculture family, it was a dream of mine to follow the footsteps of the two hero’s that I admired the most. Read more>>

I have been interested in photography since I was a kid. I remember rolling my own film and developing my own prints in a makeshift darkroom in my mothers bathroom when I was young. I always had a camera and feel like I have had quite the array of cameras from a 110, to a kodak disc. Read more>>
Stephen Rivera
The first half of my child I was raised in Stratford Connecticut. A small town vibe, everyone knows each other, kids play basketball out side, you go to a deli for lunch and the choice weekend activity is laps around the mall in the neighboring town. Read more>>

In 2000, I found myself struggling to find a venue at which I could film airport and plane scenes for a feature film. At the time, I was unable to find anything remotely similar to what I was looking for. I created Air Hollywood because I wanted to recreate an easily accessible studio for the purpose of aviation filmmaking. Read more>>

Not only were the items back then unattractive, but we were hearing all the horrible news about the toxic chemicals found in plastic.
