#134 - Chris Elise - NBA Photographer, France and The American Dream

“For as long as I can remember, I've been dreaming about America. The kid who was watching Western movies with his grandpa, in a town in France in the Seventies, grew up to turn around his professional life with one goal in mind: living on this land, even for a few years. For close to 3 decades, I've been travelling all over the world. For the last 20 years, mostly in the USA. My job as a Freelance Sports Photographer took me to many states and cities. I was mostly an NBA photographer, covering 16 NBA seasons, 6 NBA Finals. I retired from the job following last season. Newly empty nesters after having raised two beautiful boys - the best duty I had my entire life - my (dream) wife and I moved from California - she is one of the rare Los Angeles Originals from Hollywood - to Tennessee this year. In June 2021, I took the Oath and became a U.S. Citizen. I'm now an aspiring farmer on our 40 acres property in God's country. Simply living the American dream.” @froyourmind Watch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn - - - - - - - - - - - - SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS H.V.M.N - 20% off with code BRASS20 - https://hvmn.com/pages/home Combat Flip Flops - 25% off with code UNITY - https://combatflipflops.com Brass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com Daisy May Hats Co - 15% off with code BRASS - https://daisymayhats.com American Yogi - 15% off with code BRASS15 - https://liveamericanyogi.com Mid-Day Squares - 15% off with code KELSIE15 - https://www.middaysquares.com Good F*cking Design Advice - 10% off with code UNITY - www.gfda.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - SHOP B&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - Follow #brassandunity - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHARITY Honour House - https://www.honourhouse.ca Vet Solutions - https://vetsolutions.org Heroic Hearts - https://www.heroicheartsproject.org Warrior Angels Foundation - https://warriorangelsfoundation.org All Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.org Defenders of Freedom - http://defendersoffreedom.us The Boot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org
