I get great joy using words to create visual stories that evoke a range of emotions.

As a published Photographer, Independent Filmmaker and 13-time convicted felon, I have had amazing
opportunities that have earned millions of dollars as a Visual Storyteller.
From the Basement to the Balcony is my personal speaking brand, but I'm also the President of MasterMIND
Productions, a video production service based in Durham, NC that has had the opportunity to work with some amazing people all across the nation.
MasterMIND Productions serves as a one-stop shop for all your production needs, specializing in television/radio broadcasting, commercials and advertising.
Entrepreneurship was my only way! As a 13-time convicted felon I knew out the gate that it would be almost impossible to find a job. One of the biggest deciding factors for me was when I got out of prison, I said that I will not go back. I decided right then and there that I have to channel my energy and use the God given talents that I have to take advantage of my second chance.
And that's exactly what I've done. I've had the chance to work with big box companies like Google, AARP, Cisco,
small businesses, churches, college and countless non-profits.
I love to recap stories in a drama field way. Dynamic storytelling is what I do.
