About It All
You’ll find me to the be person who dives “head-in” on any project, job or calling. I love to network with all sorts of people from varying backgrounds and professions. And it’s a passion of mine to uplift others in their journey and walk across life. Because that truly is the best reward one will receive in return.
If you ask my close family and friends about me - you’ll most likely hear I do not like “half-assing” anything in life. I’ve always loved trying to push my own limits and pass them to really seek the best there is rather than settle in the mundane. I hope friends, family and co-workers would also describe hardworking and relentless for doing what’s right because I really take pride in my work and what’s right.
My reasoning for starting the Ra Film Company years ago in 2020 - was due to the tragic loss of my father-in-law after two months of marrying my wife. During and after that loss, I wanted to be able to provide for my wife to be able to recover from the loss by affording her the ability to stay-at-home, recover and for me to provide for my family. At that time I was working in the fire department as a firefighter/paramedic… and I decided to take a lifelong interest and passion in photography and videography as a ‘2nd job’. Thus the creation of “The Ra Film Company”. What this business and journey revealed to me was that it would be something far greater and better than I ever imagined. And it really did change the trajectory of our lives.
As the saying goes, “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”. And The Ra Film Company is exactly that. It has also opened so many doors as the business really built relationships and broadened my horizons to what more I would be able to do. And at the very core of my business model - I truly find my business thriving and my relationships growing by always putting other first. That I always have believed to treat others as you want to be treated. And in that same sense - provide for the customers as I too am a customer and would want to receive products and services.
I’ve been married to my amazing wife Lacey since June 2020.
We have two golden retriever boys - Winston and Otis.
My wife and I have twin sons - Roman and Franklin born in March 2024.
Some hobbies that I enjoy are Fishing, Hiking, Gaming. I love taking Road trips and traveling to see different areas. I enjoy cooking! Huge fan of Gordon Ramsay.
