“On December 4th, Brandon suffered a major stroke. He is only 29 years old. The effects of the stroke have caused his cognitive and motor skills to be greatly impaired. Brandon returned home to San Diego after three long weeks at UCLA Medical, and soon after, began the process of long-term rehabilitation. Given his unfortunate, and very unexpected situation, Brandon’s family have had to adjust their lives tremendously, resulting in financial burdens that have started to weigh heavily on them. Continued therapy, inclusive of all associated medical costs and pending hospital bills, have only further intensified this uphill battle. Brandon’s road to recovery will not be easy, but he has already shown signs of very positive improvement. With your love and support, Brandon and his family will be able to get through this difficult time. Brandon will return to Los Angeles to pickup where he left off - stronger and more motivated than ever. Any contribution will help. We thank you so very much for all your support.”
TV World: BG's Dirty 30 Cruise to Ensenada (2014 Video)
This is a highlight video I created for a friends birthday. I shot it with a GoPro Hero, Sony RX100i, and the Canon Rebel T5i. It's always good to have various cameras to work with for different situations when documenting on the go. This was a fun one to put together, enjoy!

Celebrating my dads 57th birthday last night. Here's a quick edit I created for Instagram.
Ray Roman "Rage the Night Away" (11/30/14 Split Jerk PR)
Attempting to split jerk 225lbs for the first time. When performing the clean I need to work on getting under the bar more and do less pulling with my arms. I felt like I was almost able to get the bar up into the split jerk position but fell short on my attempts.
