From a very young age, I understood that life often tries to funnel us into a predetermined system. Yet, I was fortunate to discover early on that my true calling lay outside this mold. It was through tapping into my innate talents and immersing myself in creativity that I found my true influence – a journey that began with a camera gifted by my mother at the tender age of 17.

This camera wasn't just a tool; it was the gateway to my passion. My love for capturing moments was sparked in my high school media production class, an experience that remains close to my heart. As I began to explore this newfound interest, my mother, recognizing my potential, involved me in her party venue business. It was here that I first tasted the thrill of entrepreneurship, earning a significant $500 minimum per gig – the most I had ever made in a day. But more than the financial gains, it was the joy of providing clients with a product and experience that truly resonated with them that captivated me.

Those early days of earning with a camera planted a seed in my mind – a dream to one day establish my own video production company or agency. That dream turned into a vivid reality in July 2022. I bid farewell to my job at Amazon, delivering packages, and took the bold step of launching Snell Productions. The core goal of my company was to offer effective marketing solutions for businesses and brands through compelling visual content.
