Hi everyone! I’m coming to realize that many of you don’t know who the man behind the camera is so I figured I would introduce myself to you. My name is Colby Bonewitz and I live in Toledo, Ohio. I work full time at Emmanuel Baptist Church and love that I get to spend time outside of work taking photos and videos of sports. Evidenced by the first photo, I am extremely thankful for the people I have met over the course of the past two years. Without all these incredible athletes, I wouldn’t have been able to create and have fun the way I have. You guys are the real MVPs of what I do! My favorite part of the job is building relationships with people. You guys have so many stories and wonderful things to share and I’m so thankful every time I get to be a part of it. Whether you are a fellow creator, parent, athlete or coach, your relationship means the world to me. Furthermore, my relationship with God is something that I hope is evident in my life. I believe that the Lord has given me strengths and I should use them to glorify Him. My relationships with others and the content I create has that goal in mind. Short backstory on me: I was born and raised in South Florida. I was on the swimming team my junior and senior year of high school then went to community college for two years. Left there and went to Clarks Summit University where I majored in communications with an emphasis in writing. I was also the starting center fielder for our baseball team. I worked there as the Director of Athletic Communication for three years. Met my lovely wife Anna, got married in May of 2021 then moved to Toledo in June of that same year. Life has been a whirlwind since then but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being in Toledo has been the biggest blessing of my life and I’m pumped to see what’s next out here. Let’s keep working! 🤘🏼

At different points in my life, when someone would say that I am living the dream, I would respond with “somebody’s” as a fun little joke. I can say with full assurance that this past week was not somebody’s dream; it was mine. All the hours spent in high school gyms, convention centers, and various places around the country led to this last week. But this week would have been nothing without some special people. @_mikemoline @jaimewestonparouse - Thank you for the belief in our team to get this job done. Your week-long encouragement of the squad Craig and I put together was immense. Thank you for the opportunity to work with MLV, and we look forward to the next project. @craig.thecreative - My right-hand man! We always talked about doing something this big, and to have pulled it off feels incredible. As we have both said to each other, this is just the beginning. So many more projects on the back of this one, my guy. Thanks for being who you are. @drakofilmzz , @ryanjayschmidt , @brodiephotoz , & @dlo_visuals - You guys carried this week with all the video! So proud of how hard you worked doing things outside of the job description. Thank you for your willingness to do long days without complaining and with excellence in your craft. Special shoutout to Ryan, who probably had a comnbined total of 5 hours of sleep for the week. @astroo.shots & @grantwild_ - The photo team that killed it this week! Amber, you are such an incredibly hard worker and, lowkey, an insane athlete (top golf was wild). Thank you for keeping us on track at different times this week and being a “glue” teammate all week long. Gwild, funniest dude on the squad. Could not have done this week without your positive attitude. Your laugh and demeanor are so infectious and helped keep the group positive in stressful moments. More thank yous in the comments!

After winning their semifinal match, Omaha players went and celebrated with their families. During this moment, I caught Sarah Parsons holding what I presume is her baby and it brought tears to my eyes. In that brief moment, I reflected on the goodness of my wife. Watching this mother battle on the court then go back and be mom reminded me of Anna, and how while I was busy living out a dream, she was being mom. Sarah’s tenderness in that five second moment brought so much thankfulness into my heart for Anna. The sacrifices she makes daily so I can go out and do what I do are incalculable. Above all the thanks given today, the greatest thank you goes to her. For any athlete Iv ever worked with at the high school, college or pro level, you owe her a massive thank you. She provides the pathway for me by being home with CJ, and being the best mom in the world. Her sacrificial love is so great and unbelievably kind. I love you Anna! And thank you for how you provide for our family ❤️
