Cameron

Cameron is a new brokerage member in Union County who joined services just over a year ago. Cam’s interest is in making short films and composing musical scores.

He was living with his mom and brother in Union, and spending a lot of time with his computers and cameras in his room. 

Since joining the brokerage Cam has moved into his own apartment and with his skills and the help of his provider has been very successful at living on his own. 

He is making new friends through local alliance activities and is getting out socially more often.

He also has been able to pursue his interests of being a videographer and is making short films which he posts on Facebook. 

Cam was a volunteer with the Eastern Oregon Film Festival this spring and made some new connections there as well, which he expects to continue each year.
