I’ve been writing and creating stories since my dad bought me my first camcorder in 1988. Right away, I started formulated scripts, scenes and whatever else I could shoot and exhibit to my friends and family. At age 15, I got a job working at a movie theater, my first film school, where I absorbed the classics of the 90’s that truly shaped me into the creative I am today. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be in show business, I felt like I had to be, there was no other choice.

So, I landed a talent agent at the age of 17. I was casted in television and national commercials. Later, I worked my way through marketing, working for fortune 100 companies and touring the US for several years, staying in lavish hotels and living the life on the corporate dime. One day, I decided to pursue behind the camera and worked as a camera operator and eventually found myself in Postproduction which is when I started my own video production company working with clients from many industries.

Over the years, I honed my skills, built meaningful relationships, and paid it forward as much as possible. In 2015, I was fortunate to be offered a position as an adjunct professor and since I’ve been passing on knowledge to students all I’ve learned about the industry and beyond. I am truly blessed, but I’m not done. Now it’s time to leave a bigger mark on the world, I’m just getting started.

I am a filmmaker, an entrepreneur, and an Adjunct Professor. I’ve been both in front and behind the camera. I’ve been producing videos and films since 2001. Currently, I instruct students in several fields of film production. I teach at San Bernardino Valley College, College of the Desert and Cal State San Bernardino.

I have experience working in Radio, Television, and Film, as a Cinematographer, Producer, Editor, Graphic Designer, Audio Visual Engineer and Web Developer.

In 2006, I developed my own production company, LyonsDenPro. Over the years, I have grown a substantial network of clients across the nation. I have won a CINE Golden Eagle Award and Telly Awards for Cinematography and Video Editing and Producing. In addition to my multimedia experience, I have worked with several prestigious brands, including Pepsi, The Truth, Verizon, T-Mobile, Iomega and more.

I hold a BA in mass communication from CSU, San Bernardino and an MFA in Screenwriting from CSU, Fullerton.
