About
I'm an audio and visual storyteller from Melbourne, Australia. By day, I run my small business, Vision One Technologies—by night, I’m a full-time creative, make-believer, and dreamer of the (almost!) impossible. With over 500+ sales on the acclaimed AudioJungle marketplace, a children's book (The Marvellous Mullabaloos Only Wear Blue), and a diverse business/branding portfolio, I’m always on the hunt for the next “big idea.”
My screenplays (Dr. Claus, The Ballad of Bam Barlow, Bliss Inc., and Tilt) have consistently ranked on Coverfly's "The Red List," and I’ve placed as a finalist or semi-finalist in various screenwriting competitions, including Emerging Screenwriters, Screencraft, So Cal Screenplay, and the New York International Screenplay Awards.
Behind a MIDI controller, I’ve collaborated on records with award-winning and globally recognized artists like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Josh Levi, B2K, Pretty Ricky (Emanuel Deanda), Gabe Lustman, Minus Gravity, K Major, and Giulietta.
When I’m not writing, producing, designing, sales-pitching, or daydreaming like a world-saving superhero, you’ll find me eating cheeseburgers and chicken parmigianas, conquering Xbox tournaments, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S re-runs, catching Pokémon, and enduring the heartache of being a Barça and Cleveland sports fan.
Career
In my role as an audio and visual storyteller, I get to live my dream every day, creating, inspiring, and connecting with people from all walks of life. I recently had the honour of being invited as a guest speaker at the Integrate Convention (2024) to chat about artificial intelligence in education—a topic that blends my love for tech with my passion for learning and storytelling.
What I Love About My Role:
- Making People Happy: There’s nothing quite like seeing someone light up from a story I've penned or a tune I've crafted. Knowing that my work can bring a smile to someone's face or a spark of inspiration to their day is the ultimate reward.
- Building a Legacy and Striving for Greatness: It's all about leaving something meaningful behind. Whether it’s through my writing or my business ventures, I aim to create experiences and connections that people will remember forever (and, as the great LeBron James reminds us: always stay "striving for greatness").
- Freedom to Create and Express: The sky’s the limit when it comes to creativity. I love having the freedom to dream up big ideas, explore new concepts, and share them with the world.
What My Job Means:
- Achieving Excellence: My screenplays like “Dr. Claus,” “The Ballad of Bam Barlow,” “Bliss Inc.,” and “Tilt” have had the honour of making it to Coverfly’s “The Red List.” I have also placed as a finalist or semi-finalist in various prestigious screenwriting competitions, including Emerging Screenwriters, Screencraft, So Cal Screenplay, and New York International Screenplay Awards. Placing as a finalist at the So Cal Screenplay Awards alongside Hollywood royalty like Shia LaBeouf was a super-duper-awesome honour.
- Music Collaborations: Working with amazing artists like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Josh Levi, and B2K has been an absolute blast. And being recognised by Michael Jackson's nephew for an MJ song using AI-generated vocals? That was a "pinch-me" moment.
- Building Relationships: For me, building relationships is an extension of my art. I love using my personality and charm to connect with others, whether through business or creative collaborations.
Why Customers Should Book with Me:
- Expertise and Recognition: I’ve been around the block a few times and picked up some accolades along the way. This experience means I can offer valuable insights and support to my clients.
- Passion and Commitment: I’m all in when it comes to my work. I’m passionate about what I do and committed to helping others succeed, which means you’ll always get my best effort.
- Authentic and Relatable Approach: I’m just a regular guy (with a big ol' imagination) who loves what he does. I bring a genuine, down-to-earth vibe to my work, making the process enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved.
