About me

Meet my mentor and role models to gain deeper insight into who I am.
My Mentor
Jesus Christ
The Word made fleshNo matter your belief system, whether you’re an atheist, Christian, Muslim, or anything else, Jesus Christ is the One you can’t help but admire (or, to be politically correct, “revere”). If you haven’t yet, perhaps you haven’t encountered the Jesus I know. He is the perfect inspiration for the highest creative aspirations (“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these” – Matthew 6 : 28 – 29), the pinnacle of scientific wisdom (“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” – Genesis 1 : 1), the best definitions of human values (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” – Matthew 7 : 12), a Love so profound it seems almost impossible (“The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep” – John 10 : 11), the greatest motivation to persevere for outstanding results (“But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” – Matthew 24 : 13), and the ultimate security (“There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” – Acts 4 : 12).
I strive to be like Him. I fail often, but if you have tried, you too have likely realized that only His grace is sufficient for us, for his power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
My role models
These universal figures inspire the mindset I bring to every project. Their common value is their dedication to their endeavors. They are the reason I do what I do and how I do it.
Christopher Nolan
Film Director
He is so skilled that most people need to watch his films multiple times to fully grasp them. He tackles the most daring projects, chooses the most complex production methods, surrounds himself with the best talents, and earns seven Oscars for a single project (“Oppenheimer”, 2023). He never disappoints; he is always on point, and even greater will be his next exploit.
Hans Zimmer
Film score Composer
This is the man who makes music tell stories. He knows his craft so well, yet makes everything seem so simple that anyone would love to speak the language of music. For decades, he has written timeless melodies, and his work on “Dune” (2021, 2024) is yet another level of musical craftsmanship. He gives soul to musical waves. Two notes from Hans Zimmer are worth a million dollars.
James Cameron
Filmmaker
He embodies the purest form of dedication an artist can have for their projects. Not only is he a filmmaker, but he is also a passionate scientist. Every time he makes a film, it creates breakthroughs not just in the film industry but in other industries as well (e.g. technology). He has created the highest-grossing films of all time (“Titanic”, 1997 – “Avatar”, 2009, 2022). His dedication is inspiringly intense.
Nelson Mandela
Former President of South Africa
In an era where time is money, 27 years in prison is a long time to endure injustice. President Mandela stood firm for humanity, persevering through the darkest hours, not for gold or fame, but for human values. He is a powerful reminder that in the pursuit of greatness, we should never compromise on what makes us inherently great: our values, our humanity.
Kylian Mbappé
Footballer
Among the few things I know about Kylian Mbappé, what inspired my total admiration for this top performer was his unshakable spirit during the 2022 World Cup final, the epic France-Argentina match. He is the young player whose faith didn’t waver and who stayed focused enough to score all three goals against the team of the legendary Lionel Messi. What a physical and mental athlete!
