Today we’d like to introduce you to Niko Galvez
Hi Niko, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Niko from Chino, aka Niko Galvez. Did you know the name is now ranked at the top of the list? It started with my parents, especially my mom. Growing up, in the 90’s my brothers and I were taught to be proud of the name we were given and never forget where we came from. Going through school was always fun for me because I would get along with all different social classes and age levels. High school is where I transitioned to become “man of the house” as well as independent AF! Went to ASU and CSUF! Then decided to work full-time within my home city. Shoutout to my dad for teaching me how to play poker because it helped me land one of the best jobs in my career. I was playing poker one night when a friend came to play after he left work for the day. While gambling, I discovered he works for Verizon Wireless. At the end of the night, I decided to apply. Without giving it all away, yes I worked for Verizon Wireless and that is how I met my incredible wife Stephanie Galvez.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey! I was the oldest, growing up with two younger brothers, 5 and 6 years apart from me. My parents divorced; they were both in the picture, but I mainly lived with my mom 75% of the time. My mom became an exotic dancer and was one of the best in the game because she raised and supported three boys. Then, I was the first in my family to go to college, that was a learning experience! 2011 is when I was hired at Verizon, which is also when I turned 21 and started to indulge in a “party” lifestyle. I also learned what it was like to have a great full-time job, while learning to balance life.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My field of work is different than the “normal person” I work in the entertainment industry as well as my wife and I own our own media production company. We specialize in turning dreams into reality! Since 2020, we have helped artists/ businesses create their brand presence and achieve their goals. Our process is designed to empower your brand and outfit your business with the tools and resources needed to succeed. My wife Stephanie and I both have IMBD credits for projects we have worked together on. We have collaborated and worked with companies like the NBA, Netflix, and many others.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
My mother, Sunny. She has been there encouraging me to always be myself.
Lawrence Breaux aka LB – He moved in the same day as Stephanie and I as well as he was our driveway neighbor. Invited us to many exclusive shows with Robin Thicke as well as other experiences with our families and friends. He told. us, the key to a successful marriage is to “always be on the same team”
My Uncle Bernardo. He is 10 years older than me, but would always give me life lessons while showing me how to experience it.
Dave Carafelli, Deshan Evans, Matt Moss, you 3 have my highest respect in the game because you have welcomed me as family to the Las Vegas production family.
Iamslivan, aka Ivan 2x Hall of Fame and Director of the Year! We met on the red carpet for AVN for 2022. Since then, we have collaborated and worked on multiple projects that have excelled to where we are today. After helping us secure a booth for the AVN expo with our partners Shrunk 3D Las Vegas, we decided to take it up a notch. Ivan introduced us to Gianna from Urban X Awards! She loved Stephanie and me, so she agreed to have us host and judge the 1st Ever Stankiest Smelliest Feet Contest live on stage during the award show. Thank you, BanksieTV, for special guest judge. Then we announced the 1st ever winner, and she was from Germany!
Of course I cant forget my boy, my furson Chewie Galvez! I always wanted to be the best furdad ever by giving him his best life! Stephanie and I are so thankful we have the best furson we could have. Go give him a follow @Chewie_dawg on Instagram
Last but not least, my bestfriend and wife Stephanie Galvez. She has been supportive while grinding it out with me for 12 years and counting! While my wife has battled cancer and completed multiple Spartan trifecta races, she continues to be my rock while we be the best team in this journey we call life.
