1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Joshua Gonzalez
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
August 03, 2022

2. I am from Orlando, Florida and I have lived most
of my life here. I was raised by a single mother
until the age of 7, where I met my step father. I
have served 4 years in the Marine Corps,
working as a Satellite Operator. The Marine
Corps made me grow up fast and put me in
stressful work environments. Those
environments, have shaped me into the man I
am today, responsible, respectful, hardworking
and being humble. My goal is to work as a play
by play commentator for the UFC but I will take a
position anywhere the sports networks decide to
put me.
