In his life journey is a highly creative businessman and a great teacher. In 1990, at age 18, during his 1st year in College in De La Salle University, he started his events management career founding Concepts Plus but the industry wasn’t really ready yet for below the line events marketing. Three years later, he lost money and was down to his last P30,000 pesos. He decide to shift career and manage a band called “Orient Pearl”. He composed the song “We can make it” which was later translated to Filipino called “Pagsubok” and propelled it to triple platinum status. For years, he enjoyed the rock and roll life and toured around the Philippines. In 1996, he got invited once again by school mates into forming his 2nd events company – WishCraft, Inc. In year 2000, he diversified and put up other companies… Stage Monster (which is now Set check), ProCast (casting), Post Ad (street merchandising) and Pixel Eyes Media. He also took up Masteral in Marketing in DLSU and enrolled in his 2nd course – Production Design. It was there when he re-discovered my passion for taking pictures. He decided to go full time in photography in 2003 shooting just about everything from advertising, to fashion, to events. Despite the discouragements of his partners, he sold all his shares in his companies to fund for new gear and studio. A few months later, he found my calling in weddings and decided to concentrate on this field. From doing 17 weddings on his first year, this increased to 79 on the next and 105 on the 3rd. It was then after this year that he decided to form Imagine Nation, a team of Professional photographers who commit to carry on the same attitude towards wedding & quality of pictures. After several months of operation, He discovered God’s purpose for leading him into this career. The company does a 180 degrees turn around and we focused on having Jesus as the main CEO and audience of the company. Blessing then poured since then. Imagine Nation now averages 400+ weddings yearly and houses over 15 professional photographers. Now, he is a certified PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with specializations in Wreck, Deep, Nitrox, digital underwater photography and videography and a Master Trainer for Lead Like Jesus. Post Ad on the other hand has grown into a full marketing communications company.
