My father often emphasized, 'Whatever you do, do it right, and if you ever feel satisfied with what you are doing, it’s time to move on.' These words profoundly shaped how I approach every project: with precision, purpose, and an unwavering drive to excel.

​

My journey began in 1984 when heartbreak led me to pick up a camera—a tool that became my lifelong passion. Starting as a sports photographer, I chronicled my younger brothers' high school games, which expanded to covering local sporting events and eventually becoming a staff photographer for the Irvine World News. The MTV era ignited my fascination with storytelling through imagery, and I began crafting slideshows synchronized to music for businesses and sports teams—pioneering what is now a staple in events like weddings.

​

A chance opportunity with a production company introduced me to video production, marketing, media, and event management. This pivot marked the beginning of a diversified career where I honed skills in web and graphic design, desktop publishing, show management, media relations, and client management. I had the privilege of working with Fortune 500 companies on impactful branding, education, and fundraising projects.

​

This multifaceted experience is both my greatest strength and challenge. While I became proficient in various disciplines, I didn't specialize in one. However, this journey endowed me with a unique ability to see the big picture—a skill that helps me connect with audiences, lead teams, and bring visions to life.

​

Storytelling and a big-picture perspective are at the heart of my work. Whether managing people, developing creative strategies, or delivering on a project, I strive to foster authenticity, purpose, and empathy. These values ensure that my creations resonate deeply, engaging both minds and hearts while inspiring meaningful transformation.
