Long before I ever picked up a camera, I was deep beneath the ocean’s surface, learning what it meant to move with purpose. I’ve always been drawn to the water, its silence, its discipline, its power. The Mako shark became my personal emblem fast, focused, and relentless. It represents how I live, create, and lead.

My journey started in the U.S. Army, where I spent over a decade serving across the globe as a Flight Operations Specialist. The military sharpened my resilience, my ability to adapt on the fly, and most importantly, it taught me how to build systems and lead teams under pressure. But even in uniform, I was the one documenting missions, shaping narratives, and finding the story in every moment.

After retiring honorably, I pursued my love for visual storytelling. I earned my Bachelor’s in Digital Cinematography, graduating with distinction, and went on to complete my Master’s in Marketing. That mix of discipline and creativity allowed me to build a brand around what I do best, transforming vision into reality.

Today I operate under the name Mako as a filmmaker, photographer, and creative strategist. From producing award-winning films to mentoring creators and consulting for brands, my mission is simple empower others to think beyond limits and execute with precision.

Whether I’m directing behind the camera, diving 100 feet beneath the current, or guiding a client through brand development, I bring the same energy

I aim to transform ideas into experiences that captivate, inspire, and connect. Through storytelling, visuals, and strategic campaigns, I create work that leaves an impact long after the first glance. My goal is to elevate brands and creators by turning authentic vision into moments people remember, share, and engage with.

Move with purpose. Create with impact. Leave a wake behind you.
