If the road to success was smooth, I wouldn’t even want it. My entire entrepreneurial career has been built on challenge and adversity and I have found a way to rise to the occasion every single time. I tend to thrive under pressure and deadlines – definitely the athlete inside of me. There is a plethora of difficult moments I could reference; however, I will use the most recent one – the process of obtaining my US Work Visa as a Canadian citizen has to be one of the most stressful, expensive, and annoying processes I have ever had to deal with. I was denied entry to the US on three separate occasions, lost a lot of money and potential clients, had to miss my best friend’s wedding, and racked up thousands of dollars in expenses – after eight long months, I now have my US Work Visa under KING OF ARTS INC. Would I do it again? Absolutely.

Socially known as MR.KOA – “KOA” is an acronym for my company KING OF ARTS. Whether it’s documenting history capturing the Toronto Raptors NBA Championship, curating content for brand activations with Nike, directing artistic visual pieces, producing a day-in-the-life series for a professional athlete, or building a dating card game community, there is very little that can steer me away from my natural path of creation. I am currently most proud of the impact my dating card game, THE FIRST DATE GAME, has had on people since its launch May of 2022.

I primarily focus on photography and visual content creation for business/personal branding based out of Los Angeles. The following are some notable companies/brands I have worked with/for: Adidas, Nike, Jordan, Foot Locker, UGG, eBay, Chicago Cubs, Toronto Raptors, Air Canada, and Google. If you are in need of a photographer/videographer with high-level content creation experience, feel free to review my brand reel below. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing the potential of representing your brand the best way I can in order to bring your vision and concepts to life.
