Over the last 15 years i’ve built a database of 5000+ clients allowing me to gain a reputation as the best social impact marketers in America.

I’m the CEO of Instagraphics, the #1 platform for creatives to achieve success without sacrificing their health or relationships. As a passionate leader and co-founder of multiple six and seven-figure brands, I have learned from America’s leading marketing consultants and advertising experts from all over the country. But most of all, I am a dedicated husband to my wife, Whitney, and a fantastic father to my daughter, Sunny. 

I have lived in Sacramento, California, my whole life and have always wanted to be a business owner like my grandfather and my dad. But, as with most things worth having in life, the road to get here has been long and arduous. I went from a hopeless, homeless, and broke high school dropout to now being married to the woman of my dreams, healthy, and thriving in business.

In 2006, I met my first mentor, Lary. He encouraged me to start my business. During this period, I developed a relationship with God; everything began to change for me. I began to surround myself with titans like Lary, people who had the success in life and business I wanted.

In 2011, I sold my first company KalPrint and decided to take a year off to help my mom, travel the country, and search my soul to discover what my career would look like next.

I decided that digital marketing and advertising would be the vehicle I could use to grow any business. Since I had a gift for branding and design, all I needed next was to sharpen my skills in digital marketing strategy. After investing over $25k in marketing courses, coaches, and mentors realized I wanted to build a team of my own.

In 2015, I formed my first Digital Marketing Agency, Adrian Graphics, now Adrian Agency Inc., with my brother. We saw some significant success almost immediately. However, we didn’t expect the volatility that comes with being new agency owners and how that would negatively impact our relationship. Eventually, we ultimately decided to go our separate ways. It was hard and almost made me walk away from business!

But I just don’t give up; I’m stubborn, and anyone that knows me knows that I don’t quit on things. My resiliency is what gave me the life I have today, and I’m so grateful for that!

Shortly after that, I reconnected with my now-wife Whitney; she and I dated when we were just teenagers, but we were both not ready because of the dysfunction we had in our lives at that time. So it wasn’t until a major crisis in my family occurred while she and I spent time together that I got a clear message from God that she was my person all along.

From that day on, I knew God meant for me to be with Whitney. So we got married—both completely broke and entirely in love. But, as a husband, I knew I needed to make more money, and I couldn’t work for someone else. So I teamed up with my long-time friend, Amanda, and started building what would become a 7-figure agency with a team of more than ten people.

In 2017, I started a faith-based business podcast and radio show. On Sacramento’s Money 105.5FM, I created the Project Grow Show to intertwine faith and the business marketplace. After one year of that show, it led me to speak at multiple events and stages across the country.

In 2018, I Co-Founded an Organization called TAG TALKS with my mentor Raul Lopez Jr. It’s a life-changing platform for people to share their stories and help others achieve massive breakthroughs in their lives. This project is also where I discovered my passion for public speaking and its power to impact lives.

In 2019, I broke $500k in sales for the agency and made six figures in annual personal income for the first time. It was life-changing! I started investing in more masterminds, events, courses, and mentors that could help get me where we wanted, and guess what? It worked!

Now I have evolved into creating a movement for creatives. I saw a gap in the marketplace and wanted to fix it with the resources, experience, and skills I have gained over my 15-year career.

Since starting this movement, I’ve become a speaker, been featured in dozens of publications, became a podcast host, and, in 2020, received a humanitarian award at Disney World for my work with at-risk youth. In addition, I’ve worked with some of the top businessmen and women, and I’m passionate about seeing creatives prosper in health, business and relationships.

I’ve shared stages with people like Tom Bilyeu, Jeff Hoffman, Jacob Cass, Forbes Riley, and James Dentley. Top business podcasts have interviewed me. I’m the creator of the Creative Business Summit, an event for creatives, and we’ll come to Las Vegas next year. You are giving my team and me the ability to partner with nonprofits and give back to youth programs around the country.
