Seven years in the Navy. Over a billion views. Five active ventures. One simple belief: the path is yours to make. So make it.
Hey, I'm Austen. I'm a kid from a small town in Alabama who enlisted at 21, picked up a camera on deployment, and somehow ended up here. A billion-plus views, five companies, and a career I couldn't have dreamed up if I tried. If I can do this, you can absolutely do whatever you've been putting off. That's the whole point of this site.
The Short Version
I picked up a camera on deployment. It changed everything.
I grew up in Florence, Alabama with zero playbook for any of this. I dropped out of college in 2013, enlisted in the Navy, failed my dive tryout, got back up, and started filming myself on the ship between watches. The audience I built there became the foundation for everything: the films, the brands, the live events, the software companies. None of it was inevitable. All of it was one decision at a time. If you're standing at your own starting line wondering whether to take the leap, take it.
