It’s hard to forget that one day that changes your life forever. In 2006, while I was in high school, a teacher recognized my talent and encouraged me to launch a video production company.

She even went as far as buying me my first set of business cards.

So with business cards in one hand and a borrowed video camera in the other, I was crazy enough to think I could be an entrepreneur. Even though I had no idea what I was doing I was willing to bet on myself.

And every step of the way, I’ve defied all odds.

- 17 years old when I started (too young)
- Child of Haitian immigrant parents (no one to show me how to do it)
- No college education (where are my credentials?)
- Struggled to make real money my first 5 years in business (🤦🏾‍♂️)
- Car repossessed twice in 8 months (I still didn’t give up)

For the first 5 years in business, I struggled to make ends meet and wondered if I was even good enough for this kind of work.

"This couldn’t be what life was like as an entrepreneur."

Then in 2010, I produced a documentary series for Keyshia Dior and she made $1 million in 12 months.

Wait... I could do this.

For over 15 years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs bring their stories to life through documentaries.

I dig deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows & then leverage it to scale their businesses.

I've been blessed to produce stories for Google, Coldwell Banker, and Steve Harvey, just to name a few.

I’ve honed my storytelling craft, eventually developing Dramatic Demonstration of Proof™ - an advanced storytelling process that I use for my clients.

Today I’m honored to have been featured as a guest on conference stages across the US and on 50+ different podcasts.
