Hey there!

Raised in Orlando, Florida, I developed an early passion for filming and editing—capturing everyday moments with friends and family. By the age of 12, I always had a camera in hand. I still have my very first camcorder, the Sony Handycam DCR-TRV325E PAL Hi8 Digital Camcorder, now retired and displayed as a reminder of where it all started.

​

After graduating high school in 2009, I immersed myself in video production, teaching myself through platforms like YouTube, Google, and online communities. My skillset was built through curiosity, consistency, and real-world practice.

​

Looking back at my early work, I see how far I’ve come. That progression reflects years of refining my craft, developing my eye, and continuously pushing for higher-level execution.

​​

Where Passion Met Opportunity

​

In 2013, after collaborating on a series of YouTube videos for a friend’s music channel, one of our projects began gaining significant traction. That momentum led to an unexpected opportunity—we were contacted by Kurt Hugo Schneider, a well-established creator based in Los Angeles with millions of subscribers.

​

He offered us paid positions to film, edit, and work behind the scenes on his content. At 22 years old, it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. After visiting Los Angeles, meeting Kurt, and experiencing the energy of the city, the decision became clear.

​

Shortly after, we booked one-way flights and relocated over 2,500 miles across the country—leaving behind everything familiar to build a new chapter in Los Angeles.

​

The YouTube Era

​

During my time in Los Angeles, I worked on high-performing content across major YouTube channels, influencers, commercial productions, and nationally recognized brands including Coca-Cola, Old Navy, Samsung, and Amazon.

​

The content I helped create reached millions of viewers, contributing to rapid audience growth, increased engagement, and stronger brand visibility across digital platforms.

​

After four years operating at that level, I made a strategic shift into videography and digital marketing—focusing not just on creating content, but on producing visuals that drive attention, influence perception, and support real business growth.

​

Adapt And Evolve

​

After my time working with YouTubers, I transitioned into real estate marketing in Los Angeles—providing content creation, social media strategy, and creative services through a Keller Williams brokerage in the Burbank and Glendale areas.

​

It was during this chapter that I developed a deeper understanding of business, client relationships, and entrepreneurship. The experience, combined with the people I worked alongside, made my seven years in Southern California both impactful and formative.

​

In March 2021, I made the decision to return to my hometown of Orlando, Florida—bringing with me a refined skillset and a stronger foundation to build the next phase of my career.

​

​

Return to Orlando

 

Bringing everything I had learned in video production, editing, and brand development with me, I stepped into the next chapter of my career with a clear vision and renewed focus.

​

After returning to Orlando, I joined BENTO Asian Kitchen + Sushi at the corporate level as a Marketing Assistant and Videographer. One of my primary responsibilities was to rebuild and grow the company’s TikTok presence.

​

Early content saw minimal traction, but through consistent testing and refinement, we identified what resonated. Within a few months, one video began to gain momentum—quickly scaling from just a handful of views to over 7,000,000. That growth translated into a major increase in audience, taking the account from roughly 500 followers to over 31,000.

​

After 18 months of creating high-performing, viral content, I made the decision to expand beyond a single brand and take my services to the broader market.

​

In November 2022, CT Creative Media became a full-time operation. Since then, we’ve hired multiple people to help facilitate operations and partnered with over 20 well-known brands and a growing list of clients across multiple industries—producing content across Central Florida, South Florida, and as far north as Boston.

​

Expansion 

​

As of 2026, CT Creative Media is expanding into South Florida, with headquarters relocating to Palm Beach County by Fall 2026. This move marks a strategic step toward working with higher-end brands across Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.

​

We will continue serving our Central Florida clients with the same consistency and quality—traveling to Orlando quarterly with production schedules organized in advance to ensure seamless execution.

​

While hospitality remains the foundation of our success, this expansion opens the door to new industries we’re actively pursuing, including golf and country clubs, yacht brokers, and boutique coastal retail brands.

​

This next chapter is focused on growth, stronger partnerships, and delivering elevated visual content to brands that value premium presentation.

​

Commitment 

 

As the founder of CT Creative Media, I’m committed to delivering exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail in every project I take on.​ Our goal is to help empower businesses to cast bigger nets in their online reach with fun, immersive, and engaging videos. 

 

Every business—whether it’s a global brand like Coca-Cola or the neighborhood bakery—deserves thoughtful storytelling and professional branding delivered with the utmost care.

​

As they say in Hollywood, "Let's make movie magic!"
