Father, Husband, LEGO Youtuber, MC Biker, Marine Veteran

Cheyenne Thompson was born and raised in Los Angeles. He graduated from Glendale High School where he played football and lead his Coed Dance Team to multiple National Titles. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2004 and completed tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Cheyenne later graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology/Criminal Justice, with the intention of going into to Law. Cheyenne decided that he did not want to pursue this career path and continued working for Urban Outfitters, where he was working during his studies. Cheyenne was successful in managing multiple stores within the Los Angeles area and decided to go in a different direction. He briefly worked for LEGO, before leaving retail all together. Cheyenne transitioned to working for the United States Post Office during the start of the pandemic. Although USPS showed promise of elevated roles within the company, Cheyenne learned that self-health and family should be prioritized over a work life. The USPS culture was not for him. He later found a new career path working in Quality for STAAR Surgical. This was a career choice that not only has an impact within the medical industry, but also provided a perfect work-life balance. 

 

Cheyenne started a motorcycle club that now currently spans multiple chapters throughout Southern California. He has been riding motorcycles for over 20 years ranging from: dirt bikes, street bikes, and cruisers. In the beginning, Cheyenne wanted to find others who shared the same interest and provide them a place to gather. He wanted to continue the camaraderie and brotherhood that he once had in the Marine Corps. In time, the organization not only helped each other, but has become a recognized club that helps needed areas within local communities. 

 

Cheyenne also considers himself an AFOL or Adult Fan of LEGO. His love for the hobby came from needing self-meditation. It would lead him to starting his own YouTube channel, SHYTIMEismyTIME where he showcases: LEGO reviews, VLOGs, and entertaining topics about the Brand and those related to it. In this light, he started Cali Brick Clique, which is a podcast that focuses on the LEGO Community within various social media platforms. 

 

Cheyenne currently resides in the Greater Los Angeles Area, where he lives with his wife and children. You can find him spending time with his family, filming videos, riding motorcycles, helping his communities, or simply taking a run in the California sun.
