I make content that makes people feel something — and then I make sure the right people see it. From a personal video hitting 261K Instagram views to growing a hospital brand 72.5% in 60 days, I build audiences from scratch by telling real stories.

Personal Content

Organic reach. No budget. Real stories.

My best-performing content is rooted in things I actually think about — nostalgia, culture, community, and the feeling that something real is slipping away. I don't manufacture angles. I just notice things and put them on camera.

Trending

"Why is collecting Pokémon cards IMPOSSIBLE in the year of our Lord…"

Same formula — real frustration, specific detail, a moment people recognized. Proof the Walmart video wasn't a fluke. When the hook is honest and the feeling is specific, people share it without being asked.

"I'm glad my kids see a different version of the reality I once lived."

A father of four reflecting on what his kids are growing up seeing versus what he grew up with. The kind of content that doesn't need a hook because the feeling does all the work.

A dad of four from Uvalde, TX. I make content about things I actually care about — and it turns out other people care about them too.

The Walmart video, the Pokémon video, the late-night reflections on what's changed — none of it was planned. I noticed something, picked up my phone, and made it honest. That's the only content strategy I know. When you stop performing and start saying what you actually think, people share it. That's true whether the brand is a hospital in South Texas or a company selling something people genuinely love.

780K views in 60 days. Built from nothing.

UMH's Facebook was down 78% year-over-year when I started on May 4, 2026. No content calendar existed. No one had owned social media consistently. I built the strategy, the series, and the cadence from scratch.

Named people outperform everything

Figured this out in the first two weeks. Every top post features a real person with a real name. The Spurs moment post hit 36.6K views with 227 likes. Staff spotlights consistently land between 23–36K. Content that treats people as people — not as hospital assets — drives the whole account.

Reversed a shrinking Instagram account

Net followers were negative when I took over. Stopped crossposting Facebook content, wrote native captions, launched platform-specific Reels. Interactions up 231%. Follows up 191%. The Spurs Reel hit 24.1K views with 75 shares — the top performing post on the account.

Three content series built from zero

Weekly staff spotlight on Mondays. Construction milestone updates on Wednesdays. Award recognition series rotating throughout. Each platform gets its own caption — Facebook gets storytelling, Instagram gets punchy platform-native copy. Never crossposted.

UGC and affiliate — small scale, real proof

On personal accounts, created affiliate content for products I actually use. Honest reviews, trackable links, no performance. 32% conversion rate through Amazon's program in a single month. I understand what makes UGC convert and how to brief it — not just how to post it.
