I’m a Vancouver-based videographer and photographer with 8 years of experience, helping brands and organizations across BC create professional visuals and tell their stories. I work across the full production process, from content strategy, creative direction, and planning before the shoot to photography, videography, and post-production editing. My work includes brand content, events, interviews, corporate videos, and documentaries, with experience working with TKS, Web Summit, Scale Up, and UBC.

I've built systems the generated 75,000, 150,000, 250,000 and 1.2M Subscribers building GTM Systems, Content Systems, Admin Systems, now with AI Integration and Automation I am saving Expert Led Founders reclaim up to 80% of their human capacity with AI Systems. Most expert-led businesses have accidentally built a company that depends on the expert doing too much of the work. Content, lead follow-up, onboarding, client communication, admin, and delivery all compete with the work only the expert can actually do. Hi, I'm Mike 👋 AI Consultant & Implementor I build AI systems that move that work off the expert without removing the expert from the experience. I build the AI systems that scale coaching, creator, and wellness businesses, funnels, automation, CRM (GoHighLevel), Claude/AI agents, and content pipelines so ~80% of the marketing and admin work runs itself. ✅ Proven Track Record • "Expert Agency" from $5K → $57K MRR as fractional CPO in 9 months • Run an AI Coaching OS at $20K-300K MRR per client, users across 12 countries • Built multi-agent AI systems (digital twins, 4-agent content pipelines) on OpenAI, ElevenLabs, n8n & GoHighLevel • Projects with Eckhart Tolle, Sonia Ricotti & Joe Dispenza ✅ Build my own Digital Agency using in-house methods to $500k ARR 🔧 What I Do - I work with founders who want to: • Replace manual busywork with automated client journeys • Deploy AI agents that qualify leads and personalize content at scale • Launch or fix funnels that convert and retain • Wire GoHighLevel/CRM so nothing falls through the cracks • Use data to drive booked calls and revenue - not just traffic 🛠 Services • AI Systems & Automation (Claude/ChatGPT agents, content engines, n8n) • Lead-Gen & Outreach Systems (prospecting → CRM → nurture) • Sales Funnel Strategy & Buildout (high-ticket, webinar, application) • GoHighLevel / CRM setup, SMS/email automation, missed-call text-back • Voice AI agents (inbound qualification & booking) • AI Readiness & Opportunity Audits 💡 Philosophy — You shouldn't run your systems by hand. Design them once so they scale - with soul. I build the operating system your team runs, then hand it over. 🎯 Let's Talk - Most engagements start with a fixed-scope AI Readiness & Opportunity Audit: a full teardown of your funnel and systems with a prioritized plan.
