From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, born and raised, RJ is an aspiring fashion figure working hard towards a career in the industry. He is residing in Arizona until he finishes school, then he’d follow the path life takes him. RJ has faced many different struggles in life that created him who he is today. Working towards his future is his main goal and he will do anything to get to it. Fashion and writing for film are big goals for RJ’s career. He also enjoys traveling to different places as well.

RJ enjoys video editing and has been doing it since he was very young. He also enjoys creating sketches and rough drafts for future fashion brands or even story ideas for television shows or movies to keep him motivated. He takes ideas and perspectives from different cultures and communities so that he can apply them to stories for different film ideas. This is why traveling is also a huge opportunity for him to learn about many different cultures. 

He took a pre-college fashion course during the summer in NYC before his junior year with The New York Times to study fashion, film, and photography. He did this so that it can strengthen his ideas towards fashion and film and help him better in the industry. 

RJ doesn’t like sharing most things, or large amounts of information about certain things he’s working on, but rather small snippets of what people can see from him because it adds more excitement to his ideas. He is a hardworking individual who is destined to become a respected figure not only in the fashion or film industry but everywhere.
