Over the past decade, through ups and downs, big successes and disheartening failures, Sam has learned (and continues to learn) what it takes to be a great leader and entrepreneur.
"I'm lightyears away from knowing everything, but I'll share what I do know. To be a great leader is to always seek out self improvement. To never feel as though you've learned all you need to learn. And most importantly, to be a great leader, you must care deeply about your people."
Over time, he transitioned into photography and videography. He got his first camera in 2011 and began creating YouTube videos for fun. He and his cousin Sam Rossiello created a video which soon went viral. After that, he was hooked and became the go-to person among his friends and family to film weddings, their businesses, and so on.
Justin and two of his cousins founded the company which eventually evolved into Captiv Creative.

Soon, Captiv Creative began facilitating these services (headed by Justin) to the Houston Area.
When asked about how far things have come since selling skateboards, Justin said:
"We have an incredible new 18,000-square-foot studio, our seven-person team is top-tier, and we’re working with some of the biggest companies in the world. I’m extremely proud of my team and our capacity to do great things."
"My professional journey has been marked by significant milestones that have propelled me to where I am today. While I'm deeply invested in my professional pursuits, I find balance in spending quality time with my beautiful wife and daughters. Exploring the outdoors and indulging my passion for outdoor adventures rejuvenates me. My love for adventure extends to my trusty Jeep, which might occasionally lead me to spend more than I should."

“Every day I feel so lucky to have found my passion in life and to work with a team who challenges, affirms and has allowed me to grow so early on in my career!”
production allowed me to blend my engineering mindset with my creative spirit, offering me the freedom to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise vanish into the annals of time.
In those early days, I was an avid camera-renter from the school library, hoping to capture the essence of life one frame at a time. My fellow students quickly caught on to the magic of filmmaking, leaving me camera-less on the eve of a crucial shoot. With unwavering determination, I emptied my bank account to purchase my very own camera, making a commitment to pursue this newfound passion by any means necessary."
"Fast forward nine years, and I'm here, humbled and exhilarated by the journey that has unfolded. Every project has been an opportunity to start with a blank canvas, a chance to turn dreams into reality. I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, from commercials, documentaries, short films, TV series, as well as the NFL. In my role as Director of Photography, Cinebot Operator, and Video Editor at Captiv Creative, my goal is to propel Houston into the forefront of the film industry."
"I've witnessed the power of maintaining a positive mindset while staying prepared for the challenges that life brings. The purpose of my journey is to show the world that no feat is unreachable."
