I founded Tenth Ave Media in 2026 to reconnect with something I’d been missing for years: a creative outlet.

At 18, I signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment and moved across the country to Los Angeles to pursue music. It was an opportunity I’d dreamed of, but the deal didn’t include a budget for the media that went with it. Over time, footing the bill for music videos, photography, and artwork became too expensive to sustain. I bought a camera and began teaching myself how to create that content.

What started as a necessity became something I loved, and something I got good at. I understood the value of great media, but I also knew the frustration of high prices and slow turnarounds. As my skills developed, I found myself completing work in hours that I had once waited days to receive. That experience shaped the kind of company I wanted to build: strong creative work, fair pricing, and a straightforward process.

When I stepped away from music, I didn’t realize how much I would miss having something to create. A St. Rose High School Class of 2014 graduate, I spent years chasing that creative life across the country before finding my way back home to Belmar. Starting Tenth Ave Media gave me that feeling again. Today, I get to put my creativity into businesses, projects, and people I’m excited to work with. That’s what makes this personal to me.

If you’re here, I’d love to create something with you, too.
