A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I built my career on adaptability, precision, and leadership.
After serving 15 years—including combat in Iraq—I discovered the cathartic power of visual storytelling while helping wounded warriors learn media arts. This revelation inspired me to found Never Forgotten Media. Today, we deliver exceptional, technology-driven production services while providing veterans and individuals with disabilities meaningful stepping stones into the industry.
Beyond co-founding TEDxCSUSM and serving as Board Member of San Diego Media Pros, I am a dedicated storyteller. Whether I am knee-deep in a livestream or locked in the edit bay, I believe in community. I am proud to lead our vision of uniting the local crew and industry to showcase what it means to be #MadeInSan Diego.
