Ever since I could remember I en-
joyed creating things. Whether it was
painting the sunset, designing custom
shoes or grooming someone’s hair.
I have always loved using my hands
and imagination to make something
cool. As owner and founder of Give
God Glory Brand; I spend everyday
of my life creating art in some form
and using my gifts for God’s glory.
I established the GGG brand in 2007
as a student athlete at Abilene Chris-
tian University. After what looked like
a sabotaged future full of mistakes
and bad choices, I decided to reded-
icate my life to God and made a deal
with God Himself. If He would give
me another chance to continue school
and continue to play football then I
would use all of my gifts for His glory.
since then GGG Brand has expand-
ed into different areas of influence and
business, simply using the gifts God has
given me.
My first venture was GGGINK, a faith
based tattoo company. Using my gift
of art and drawing, I am able to cre-
ate lifelong pieces of art on people’s
bodies. our motto, “Glorious Homes,”
As a Christian influenced company I
choose not to do dark imagery or art-
work that does not align with the be-
liefs and vision for the GGG Brand.

Over a hundred people have the GGG
logo tattooed and support of the brand
continues to grow as the message spreads.
Believers worldwide are also seen rep-
resenting the GGG logo through my
fashion line GGG Clothing. I figured
what better way to spread the mission
of God’s glory than through a wearable
statement. Founded in 2013 the ecom-
merce presence at www.gggbrand.com
has been a platform for believers nation-
wide to proudly represent their faith in
God. From dozens of NFL athletes, to
Olympians, to your everyday believer,
many people have continued to spread
the message that God deserves all of
the glory. Recently my wife and I have
created GGG Real Estate with Glori-
ous Living” allowing our brand to have
a greater influence in the Dallas com-
munity and to help families overcome
poverty and build generational wealth
through ownership. We have been af-
forded the opportunity to teach others
about the principles of stewardship,
saving, financial discipline, and invest-
ing. Many people are being blessed and
we are excited about the greater level of
influence we’ve been given. 2017 looks
very promising and exciting. With so
many visions to bring to life there will
definitely be lots of work to be done. I
look forward to creating new art, new
ventures and building new purposeful
relationships as I continue walking by
faith. I look forward to growing men-
tally, physically and spiritually. I have
personally learned that the more wis-
dom you obtain, the more creative you
become. By being in the best physi-
cal shape possible you feel better and
strong enough to attain any goal set. I
have learned that creating comes natu-
ral, turning your creativity into business
takes hard work and effort, and both take
consistency to be successful. The most
important thing that I have ever realized
through my experience and journey is
that anything is possible when you keep
God first. Literally anything. God Bless.
