You may have seen the famous hype videos shown on CCTV, social media, and at pep rallies. At the end of each video, the name “Preston Palmo” is displayed on the screen for a split second. The name is almost overshadowed by the mind blowing content created.

So who is Preston Palmo? Preston is a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School who produces and creates hype videos for the sports teams at Cathedral; mostly football and basketball. His videos create marketing for the team to get fans to the games and to set the energy.

He started filming when he was 12. He states, “I kept perfecting my craft and I stopped for a while. I came back to it and that’s when I actually started creating meaningful work.” His meaningful work is his social media accounts.
