About me
everyone has a start
As you can see, I’ve been immersed in multimedia since my childhood—though maybe not quite from the cradle! I spent my early years all over California. By middle school, I was playing the alto saxophone in the marching band, which is where I first learned to synchronize music with various media. This skill extended into school projects where I matched sound effects and music with video. During high school, I began DJing at small school functions and local church dances. It was there that I met a fellow DJ, Don Henry, who used videos on VHS tapes for his sets. Seeing this, I started exploring ways to assist other DJs in enhancing their businesses with video.
“I’ve walked a path influenced deeply by my family, starting with following in my dad’s footsteps in the firefighting world. I joined the Oxnard Fire Academy as part of Class 19 and spent several seasons with Engine 54 in Los Padres National Forest. My time in the fire service adds a layer of meaning to my work now. When I talk about helping you ‘Ignite Your Legacy,’ it’s more than just a metaphor for motivation—it’s a reflection of my literal experiences with fire.
This idea of ‘burning new paths’ is something I carry into my professional ethos with conviction, believing that it can fundamentally transform the way you approach your business.
My journey from California to Arizona has been filled with learning and influential encounters, guiding me just as the figures in my life have. My father, a dedicated firefighter for 40 years, and my mother, an aspiring entrepreneur since I can remember, have both shaped my ambitions. Long before Cinnabon became a household name, my mother dreamed of opening her own cinnamon roll shop. She was the owner of Gluten Zero Bakery in Henderson, NV. Inspired by her persistence and entrepreneurial spirit, I too am driven to forge my own path, helping other business owners as I strive to be my own boss.”
