After graduating from college, Princeton launched the “Building Without a Blueprint” podcast; a show for people who feel called to build something bigger than themselves, but have no explanation or representation of how to bring it to pass. Through sermons, interviews, and talks on the show, Princeton inspires those who have a WHAT, but no HOW. Princeton is also the founder and CEO of Building Without A Blueprint LLC, an organization that houses all of his media enterprises and mentors young leaders in high school and college who are pursuing their purpose. In addition to ministry and motivational speaking Princeton has a heart for music. As a songwriter, musician, and vocalist, he has won numerous awards and recognitions. Princeton is a member of Crusade Christian Faith Center in Inglewood, CA where he serves as the worship pastor and young adult pastor. He lives by the motto: “With God as your foundation, and purpose as your motivation: keep building.”
