ABOUT ME

Ask anyone who knows me—friends, family, colleagues—and they’ll tell you I don’t believe in half-measures. I pursue excellence with integrity, discipline, and an unrelenting drive. I’m passionate about what I do, and I thrive in the process of creating and producing work that reflects the very best of what I can give. From a young age, I learned the value of hard work, and it became part of my DNA. Elevation—of myself, my craft, and the people around me—isn’t just a goal; it’s my way of life.

That is what ignited and fuels my business. The Ra Film Company LLC is where my heart meets my work. Its purpose is simple yet powerful: to elevate the individuals, families, and businesses I partner with. When you put others first, everything else finds alignment. My company thrives on the success of those I serve, and that mindset turns every project into a true partnership—not just a transaction.

Throughout my life, I’ve been both curious and fortunate enough to explore a wide range of fields. Holding different positions in sales, operations, and management, to building a career in the medical field and serving for years as a firefighter/paramedic - my path has been anything but linear. While this 'variety' doesn't reflect a traditional résumé - it is my greatest strength—a diverse foundation of real-world experience that uniquely equips me to build meaningful, impactful brands.

I’m no different from anyone else—I love simple joys like fishing, hiking, exploring, and taking road trips to new places. My family means everything to me, and becoming a father has elevated my life in ways I never imagined. It’s flooded fuel to the purpose and drive that pushes me to create the very best work I can.

SOME RANDOM FACTS

I’m a fan of classic cars—my dream car is a black ‘68-’70 Dodge Charger— I enjoy working on my truck whenever I get the chance. I have a soft spot for all things tech. I have a strong passion for cooking. Would consider myself a little bit of a foodie. Gordon Ramsay is someone famous I'd like to meet. Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of all time. Steak should only be served medium rare only. My wife says that I have work/business on my mind nearly all the time (which she wouldn’t be wrong).

And one day, I hope to look back and hand my children a future of endless possibilities with a foundation strong enough to step on and move further and higher than I ever did. That is a father’s greatest wish for his kids.
