Co-Agent | Rising Star Management

After a 7-year hiatus in the corporate world, I've re-joined Rising Star Management as a Film & TV / Talent Agent. My experience in the entertainment industry spans the music industry, from piano performance in bands and performance across the globe to music production, and 18 years of instructing music and artist development on Vancouver's North Shore. When I started, my talent quickly began landing auditions, callbacks, and bookings. I was then invited to train as a full agent—and I’ve been proud to grow with RSM ever since.

In addition to professional music, my background includes consulting, sales & marketing, and visual and audio media production. Today, I work in North Vancouver, where it is my privilege to represent, mentor and manage actors, individuals with special skills, and 'real people' talent for the global film and TV industry.

I love what I do! Representing actors is not only a natural fit for my personality, but it’s also an opportunity to connect with people, highlight their unique skills, and help turn their on-screen dreams into reality. I thrive on meeting deadlines, scouting talent, and staying organized, but my driving passion is helping actors and talent discover the commercial value of their gifts and guiding them to success in an increasingly competitive industry.

As a creative professional, husband, and father of two, I bring resilience, loyalty, and dedication to every role I take on. As a Film & TV / Talent Agent, my goal is simple: to represent Vancouver’s best talent and position them for meaningful and rewarding opportunities in film and television.

We’re fortunate to live in Vancouver, a global hub for film and TV that continues to offer incredible opportunities for actors and talent at every stage of their journey.

At RSM, I have always been grateful to work alongside Kumi Kimura, RSM’s owner and a respected leader in the industry. Kumi began her career as an actor, transitioned to talent management, and has built an agency known for launching actors into thriving careers. Her relationships across Vancouver, Los Angeles, and abroad continue to open doors for our roster.
