Ford creates most of the ads for the Eye of the Needle and said, “I didn’t want to join journalism at first, but I ended up really liking it”. One of his favorite things to do in journalism is make videos with his best friend Ayden Brown. Ford’s favorite thing about journalism is how much freedom he has to do what he wants.
