About John

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley in California. Attended a christian school until 3rd grade. Started off as a drummer in elementary through high school playing in the marching band and Jazz band. I joined the church worship team and orchestra for several years. Then was asked in 1992 to tour in the United Kingdom and Bogota Colombia with Celebrant Singers.

As a young man I was introduced to video making in the early 90’s while attending youth group. The youth pastor showed me how to edit videos. My experience learning was an exhilarating experience but humbling. Showing my work to other students gifted me the honest criticism I needed to help me make better videos.

At the age of 17 while attending a youth convention in Los Angeles. I was very intrigued watching a cameraman capturing images that were projecting on a massive projection. I was inspired and new without a doubt that’s what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Eventually I was subcontracted from the Southern Cal District to produce videos promoting Youth Conventions and Summer Camps for the Assemblies of God, expanding over 10 years.

In 1994 I attended The Art Institute of Houston Texas for Video Production Business. After 15 months, I was interrupted with a job opportunity traveling overseas as a videographer, senior editor and production manager. The goal was to produce videos at conferences to inspire high school students to go on a short term missions trips. The success was seeing over a thousand students travel overseas year after year.

My journey in House of Worship production started in 1999. My first job was producing 30 minute preaching shows that aired on TBN. Including a 30 minute worship show while being a production director. This experience would be the result of dedication and hard work launching me into production for the next two decades.
