After a gnarly “reorg” under Robert Sarver, former Phoenix Suns owner, I was let go along with two senior teammates and my VP, despite our record-breaking digital work, and it stung. A lot. However, justice was served for many after an NBA-led investigation found Sarver guilty of violating workplace standards, resulting in a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine. Like I said, it was gnarly.
Aerospace wasn’t a dream, but it was a challenge. And you better believe I turned it into a launchpad. From filming live with Tom Costello on the TODAY Show 35K feet above NYC, to building never-been-done-before influencer credibility in a red-tape-laced industry, I proved that even when the dream job falls apart, this Digital Angel drops digital fire in cockpits, not just courside, and never misses a landing.
