Since then, he has produced and directed three feature-length theatrically released films.

My Book – Pursuing God, Chasing Your Dreams and NEVER Giving Up On Yourself

Oftentimes, the biggest battle we will face in having our dreams come true is the battle in our own minds to keep pushing forward. But...

My hope is that by the time I take my last breath, my films will leave a legacy of hope and inspiration. But that doesn't mean every film I make has to have some sort of teaching message. Nothing wrong with making fun movie whose sole purpose is to entertain!

My Journey

I grew up in the bay area and from my earliest memories I wanted to be the center of attention. Early on, my mother helped get me parts in small plays and encouraged me to continue down the road in the entertainment industry. As I got older the "bug" never left. Acting, writing, directing and making films was all I could think about. And despite putting those desires on the back burner to get married and start a family, I never gave up on those dreams. In 2017 I was given the opportunity to direct my first feature-length "Hollywood" film, which turned into directing my second feature-length film right after that. Now, I'm working on multiple films and have never been more excited about the direction of my career. My book, "Pursuing God, Chasing Your Dreams and NEVER Giving Up On Yourself" will be released some time soon, and my hope is that it encourages others to pursue their journeys.

The journey getting here was rough. It's probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. But I learned so many invaluable lessons along the way that I wouldn't trade it for anything.
