REBEL

My Story

Hi, I’m Rebel, a father of two wonderful children and a proud son of Robert and Patricia, with an amazing older sister named Sarah. Born and raised in the vibrant southwest suburbs of Chicago, I've been deeply rooted in my community and have cherished the values instilled in me as a pastor's son. Growing up in the church, I developed a strong spiritual foundation that continues to shape my life today.

My professional journey began in the world of carpentry, where I had the privilege of working alongside my family in crafting custom homes and engaging in remodeling projects. Seeking new avenues of creative expression, I ventured into the realm of theater and haunted house production, where I discovered a passion for bringing stories to life and captivating audiences with immersive experiences.

Eager to serve my country and contribute to something greater than myself, I joined the Illinois Army National Guard as a combat engineer. Through hard work and dedication, I advanced to the rank of E5 Sergeant and completed the rigorous EEOCA school. Although my military service was cut short due to medical reasons, the experience taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork, resilience, and adaptability.

Currently, I find fulfillment in the dynamic world of union TV and film production. As a rigging grip for a nationally syndicated network TV show, I play a exciting role in creating captivating visuals that entertain audiences across the country. The fast-paced nature of the industry keeps me on my toes and fuels my passion for delivering top-notch productions.
