Born in the Philippines, raised in San Diego, and spent four years in Tokyo as a Navy parachute rigger. Advertising came later. 2011, to be exact.

I moved to NYC and started my creative career in publishing at TIME. As print began losing its footing, a mentor told me, “Try advertising.” I took that advice.

These days, I’m a New York-based creative director and filmmaker. I develop campaign ideas, shape how they look and feel, and help bring them to life—from the first sketch through the shoot and final edit.

Outside of work, I surf, ride motorcycles, and write and direct films. I live in New York with my wife and our two boys. You can usually find us in Central Park, moving at whatever pace a three-year-old decides.

Have something in mind? Let’s talk.
