/AI ENGINEER · WILLARD, OH
BRANDON
TREVINO
Father of three. Been skating my whole life. I got my first restaurant job at 15 — started as a busboy, worked my way up to bartender and manager — and I had a camera in my hand the whole time. Real estate photography, restaurant shoots, video edits, reels. That part came before any of the business stuff.
Since then I've built a marketing agency, a smoothie brand rooted in skate culture, and Skater XP — a skateboarding app I designed and shipped to the App Store, solo. I run Ohio Skate Report covering the local scene, and I build AI tools — automations, phone receptionists, email systems — for small businesses tired of doing everything by hand. Been making things on the internet since 2009 and I don't plan on stopping.
Clean, fast sites that actually do something. I've built them for local service businesses, restaurants, and my own brands. Hosted on Netlify, built to last.
Real estate shoots, restaurant photography, reels, YouTube edits. I've been behind a camera since 2009 — it's not a service I picked up, it's just something I've always done.
Custom workflows, AI phone receptionists, email systems that send themselves. The stuff that used to require hiring someone — I build it once and it runs.
30-day content calendars, batch shooting days, platform strategy. I manage accounts for clients and run my own — so I know what actually works and what just looks good on paper.
I've built brands from scratch — Melon Grab started as an idea and now it's a real thing with a following. If you need more than a logo, I can help you figure out what you actually stand for.
Skater XP is my flagship — a full skateboarding social app I designed, built, and shipped to the iOS App Store solo. React, Supabase, native iOS. Real product, real users, live in the store.
THREE KIDS.
ONE MISSION.
NO SHORTCUTS.
SKATE CULTURE
BUILT MY LENS.
I got my first job in a restaurant at 15 — bussing tables, washing dishes. Eventually became a bartender and manager. That world moves fast and there's no hiding when things go wrong. I still pick up bartending gigs when I can. The money's good and the networking is better.
I grew up skating and filming. Always had a camera at the park. That's where the eye for content came from — not a course, not a job. Just years of wanting to capture something real. Melon Grab came out of that same place, and so does everything I'm building around the Ohio skate scene.
I use AI tools the way most people use a full team. Automated receptionists, content workflows, email systems — all built and running while I focus on something else. I set it up for my own businesses first. Now I build it for other people's too.
I have three kids. That's the whole reason any of this exists. I'm not trying to build an empire — I'm trying to build something that works without me having to choose between a client and a soccer game. Everything I do is designed around that.
Father. Skater. Builder.
