🚨genuine post alert🚨it’s been a real treat to collaborate w/ my friends at @315.presents both on-camera and in assorted production roles making artful commercials for @nikerunning & @colehocker, @adidasrunning, and @saucony over the past six months. collaborating with @mattwisner & @carter_christman, learning from @brenden.jpeg & @thommarch, getting down in the trenches with @colinnwong & @charlie.townes, and striving to get as many homies on set as possible … this is living the dream! until next time… cheers mate! 🥂😇🎭💯🦋📈

today is the four year anniversary of me moving to Los Angeles, CA to “become an actor” … but isn’t life just a stage that i’ve been on since Day 1 of coming out the womb??? thanks to everyone who has supported the journey thus far :) ✨🎭😇

🗓 2009 — 🎓 senior year of high school — 📝 mrs. borisoff’s creative writing class … we wrote a screenplay for “THE TRANSFORMATION OF ALEX CRAWFORD” about an overweight high school freshman who learns the art of running from an alcoholic track coach to transform his life, defeat the pesky bullies, and win over the girl of his dreams. then we shot this trailer for extra credit 📹📹📹 if given a blank check in “hollywood,” this is the film i would produce and i can 1000% trace the roots of me moving to LA to “become an actor” back to this exact moment captured on MiniDV tape 🤓 never stop chasing your dreams, i guess! 💯 written by @chaseh0yt, @vcrheadcleaner, @emodrmbot, & myself. starring me, Chase Hoyt, Benny Ward, @walteretc, @whitwiese, @cory.olis, & others.

went to vote in person just so i could look my fellow Americans in the eye and say “thank u” for exercising their civic duty on this day 💪🏼 voting is sexy and beware anyone who tries to make it harder for u to do that ! 💯 had a great time casting my ballot at the Armenian Church Of The Nazarene in Glendale 🇺🇸🇦🇲 shout out to the kind volunteers there !! 🫡 📸: @carter_christman #rockthevote #election2024 #voteforpedro

it was an absolute honor to have 🥇Olympic gold medal winner🥇 @colehocker at @xencor.national today to get the sales team 🔥fired up🔥 about 2025 projections 📈📈📈 note the dominant handshake position Cole is employing vs. Junior Account Executive Alex Crawford … his hand is on top, firm grip deployed, energetically dominating the photo. it’s the little things like this that set champions apart from losers and one of the many reasons we brought Cole in office to speak today. thanks Cole! #xencorNATION #sales #buybuybuy

cultural appropriation 🃏

once a year i like to get a run in with a handful of most elite runners in the world (including 🥇gold medal🥇 winner @colehocker and his @teamsova teammates @cooperteare & @aidantooker). i’m always chomping at the bit for the opportunity to soak up game from the best … equivalent to shooting around with michael jordan or running lines with al pacino. this is my annual reminder to lock in, crank up the training, and put in that work 📈💪🏼💯 #thejourneyofathousandmilesbeginswithasinglestep 📸: @alexipappas

wanted to wait to post this until it became official but today i am nervously excited 😬 to announce that i’ve decided to put my so-called acting/filmmaking career 🎭 on pause to take a job as a JUNIOR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE with @xencor.national !!! this was a rly tough decision for me but at this point in my life i need stability (especially if i want to raise a family someday soon 👶🏻), the benefits package is off the charts 📈📈📈, & i’m rly excited about the opportunities XENCOR NATIONAL will provide !! i’m learning a lot of new skills (microsoft excel 🤤) and, most importantly, i’m making money 🤑 !! #xencorNATION

always wanted to be in a getty images photo 😍 last night at the world premiere of STEALING PULP FICTION 🎞 congrats @pillisdorfsocialclub & @dannyturkiewicz & everyone who made this picture happen !!! coming soon to a theatre near u 🔜💯😇
