As the son of two priests growing up in San Diego, money was always a limited factor. We did not have much, but somehow found a way to avail the maximum benefit. Every year we had a fantastic when my father my brother and San Diego used to take me to the auto show. This is where all this started for me.
After spending hours at the convention center, after snatching every announcement document and brochure, which I could get with my hands, I will reach home and go to my room to read through each one. I miss the number of horsepower, cargo space, pricing and any major details that determine a model year separate from the next. I also based my sixth grade research project on this, which I learned, Automotive manufacturers were AZ (for Z ZUNDAPP, if you were thinking).
Then I grew up and I had to think how I was going to tolerate college. I focused on lacros in the hope of getting an athletic scholarship (which I did), and the cars became a side project, a cool hobby of mine. The injuries shorten my lacros career. And then, okay when I needed a new purpose most, the epidemic hit.
Now I was completely lost. No jobs, no potential possibilities, and a communication degree that felt useful in the form of firewood. What were I going to do now?

I went back which I loved
With $ 300 I had left my bank account from graduation, I bought a camera drone from Facebook Marketplace. I started going out for empty parks and started practicing to film, while car clubs, real estate agencies and anyone who could give me a chance to work for them.
I was quite lucky that some wonderful people did this right. Businesses and friends gave me access to vehicles that I would only have dreamed of, and I trusted them to document them in creative and sometimes unconventional ways. I was reminded why my little self used to read all those brochures in my bedroom. My love of cars (and technology behind them) crossed any other dream with me, and I could not let it go again.
Over the next four years, I began building my online appearance as a material manufacturer in automotive space. With the garage as the basis of my parents’ operations, I will spend hours in search of socially distinguished car meetup and events on my computer, where I can collect one leg in the San Diego Automotive community. I would ask the event organizers if they need any drone photography or promotion, and wherever I needed, shown with a backpack filled with business cards and camera gear. I will also travel hundreds of miles from my way to get access to some amazing vehicles of West Coast.
At that time, I was barely making enough to cover the cost of my gas. Pro-Bone Car Content Space did not have much money, but I always felt that there was something around the corner, until I kept trying to do something about this dream.
What do you think so far?
It was not till 2022 that things actually started stopping. A local company that created a car upgradation required a media expert to join his team, and I was more happy than being a part of it. With him, I attended some of the world’s largest car conferences, worked as a brand ambassador, and jumped on every occasion to level his knowledge and connection in the industry.
Sometimes, the role can be a bit difficult, hanging out of a car with my drone flying above, jet ski riding with me to shoot a surf-theme car with a camera. But still, there was not one such thing that they could pitch that I would have been rejected. In my origin, it was what I always wanted, and such opportunities as once a lifetime, no matter whether the complexity or anarchy that comes with it.
Over time, my account increased from just 3,000 followers to more than 25,000, and I formed a company that now manages the media for racing teams and drivers. I finally found a way to melt my passion for vehicles, videography and write in a career that gives me excited and challenges every single day.
From deciding on your next car purchase, to find cool car hacks that make your life easier, at home and when leaving, my goal is to strengthen you to make the best possible decisions for a better life on the road. There is a ton of information, and it can really be really heavy to try and navigate it.
For me, cars are not just a hobby. They are associated with my identity. For knowledge about everything automotive, my hunger drives me from the moment I sleep until I sleep. Some people may think that it is obsessed, and to some extent, they will be correct. But that passion has given birth to both a sense of purpose and a passion to share with others.
