About this event

After Chris “Drama” Pfaff graduated from high school in Akron, OH, he moved to Los Angeles with dreams of working in a skateboard shop and renting his own apartment. Through his second cousin, professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, he became a character on two MTV reality shows. In 2009 at age 22, with no background in business or fashion, he launched a t-shirt and streetwear line, Young & Reckless, which has grown into a nationwide brand. By 2016, Young & Reckless had distribution in more than 3,000 Macy’s, Dillard’s and PacSun stores, celebrity endorsements from Puff Daddy and Justin Bieber, 43 employees, and $31 million in revenue. 

When Drama isn't at the helm of his company he is the host of the popular Short Story Long. Every week Drama catches up with not only his friends but also individuals who have made a name for themselves and overcame certain obstacles to get to reach their level of achievements. Guests include: Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder), Gary Vaynerchuck (VaynerMedia), Wiz Khalifa and many many more.
