The Early Days
Growing up on the outskirts of the lovely Lake Lewisville, Blake Fuller experienced a multitude of moments that developed him into the man he is today.
From having a family that always pushed him to be the best he could be, to simultaneously exploring his creative tendencies, Fuller was able to create a foundation for himself centered around his family and his faith - all while having a little fun.
Fuller's story begins by chasing his dreams in the form of both academics and athletics. His athletic ability would land him in pursuit of being the best football player he could be.
However, despite the rigorous fitness routine that Fuller maintains to this day, it was his brains that would send him heading south from Dallas and down to the promised land - Texas A&M University.
College Years
It didn't take long for Fuller to become acclimated to the culture of Texas A&M, despite only choosing to go there because of his older sister who attended. He drank the kool-aid, as some might say.
When navigating the riveting and extremely brutal curriculum that Texas A&M's engineering program had to offer, Fuller also began immersing himself in the on-campus social activities such as Men's Organizations, Fish Camp, and Freshmen Leadership Organizations.
His charismatic demeanor and constant sense of happiness would have him finding his way into some of the most sought after student organizations and positions on campus - a testament to both his keen ability to make people feel valued and his own personal admiration for joy.
After being asked about his time in college Blake responded with,
"When looking back at my time on campus, I can't but feel so blessed to have had that opportunity."
Post-Graduation
After graduating with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Texas A&M, Fuller pursued a few different opportunities before finding his place at his current position as an engineering commissioning agent.
His technical skillset has opened up many doors for him in the engineering world that he's extremely thankful for. However, Fuller still finds time to pursue his passions of coaching, playing guitar, video editing, and most notably - spreading his faith with the world.
Fuller felt convicted after realizing that he so easily shares stories about trivial things such as movie recaps, but never goes out of his way to share his faith, something he revels as his true identity.
After this realization, Fuller began posting God's message with the world and has now amassed a following of over 20,000 people on his TikTok channel.
Blake Fuller is a motivated and faithful man who is striving to find his place in the world.
