The Kid From Ontario Who Decided
Not to Wait for Permission.
I started at 15. I have not stopped since.
In May 2020, from a bedroom in Woodstock, Ontario, I started cold-emailing entertainment professionals and asking if I could interview them. I was 15 years old. I had no credentials, no connections, and no reason to expect anyone would say yes.
People said yes.
Five years later, I have produced over 53 long-form interviews with professionals from Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and Universal Pictures. I have spoken with the director of Bee Movie, the voice of Porky Pig, the voice of Andy from Toy Story, the director of Airplane!, and the co-founder of the VFX company behind Avatar and Terminator 2.
I was the last person to conduct a recorded interview with Ron Galella — the world’s most famous celebrity photographer — seven days before he passed away in 2022. That conversation led to a professional relationship with his estate that changed the trajectory of my career.
Today, I serve as the Director of Digital Strategy for Ron Galella, Ltd., managing a seven-platform digital presence that generates over 3 million monthly views and 400,000+ interactions. I have secured partnerships with the Grammy Museum, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Getty Archive, and Interview Magazine. I have gotten the estate featured in Vogue, connected it with new Fine Art representatives, and am currently developing a television project based on the Galella archive.
In 2019, I launched a music project called First World Citizen. It has since generated over 70 million global streams across hip-hop, jazz, and folk. I have collaborated with Grammy-winning artist L.V. — the voice of the chorus on Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” — and secured UK radio airplay for my debut single.
In 2024, I studied journalism at the World Journalism Institute and wrote for WORLD Magazine, covering topics from streaming industry economics to online child safety legislation. I hold certificates from the World Journalism Institute and The Democracy Fund.
In late 2025, I founded METT Social — an entertainment legacy management firm that helps celebrity estates, cultural archives, and creative businesses protect and grow their legacy through human-first digital strategy and proactive opportunity creation.
What I believe.
I believe that the people who changed culture deserve to be remembered — not as Wikipedia footnotes, but as living, breathing legacies that continue to inspire. I believe that every person has a story worth hearing, and that the best work comes from sitting with someone, listening deeply, and honoring what you find. I believe in transparency, hard work, and doing right by the people who trust me with their name.
I am a person of Christian faith, and that faith informs everything I do — not as a brand or a talking point, but as the foundation for how I treat people, make decisions, and conduct business.
The short version.
I am 20 years old. I live in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. I have been doing this since I was 15. I interview extraordinary people for a living. I manage entertainment legacies. I make music. I write. And I answer every single message personally.
