I'm a multidisciplinary director, producer, writer, and production sound mixer/engineer with 20+ years of experience across film, television, music, and digital media. I founded T53 Productions in Miami, where I lead all film, audio, and digital media productions. My credits include HBO, BET, Lionsgate, Universal, Paramount, Walmart, Def Jam, and Cash Money Records. I'm a storyteller who blends technical mastery with bold, creative vision to deliver premium independent content on time and on budget. I'm open to short-term and long-term engagements—production sound mixing on set, directing, producing, or creative consulting—and I'm known for reliability and speed on independent production schedules.
