In 2016, I launched MBB 3D with no knowledge, expertise and/or money. I had no formal training or understanding of how to make best-in-class 3D digital twins, 360º content or XR experiences.

My goal was to simply have a fun side hustle while working full-time as a talent agent allowing me to indulge in creative work during my free time and weekends. It was never about building an ultra successful company; it was about doing something I loved with people I enjoyed working with.

MBB 3D was also never meant to be typical. I aimed to differentiate myself from the competition in several ways, including:

1. People Over Employees: MBB 3D operates without traditional employees. Instead, I collaborate with friends, independent contractors, and creative partners. There are no binding contracts—everyone chooses the projects they want to work on and when to work on them.

2. Payments: We don’t require new clients to send any down payments before we start working on their project. We’ll work for days, sometimes weeks before we receive full payment that should have been paid before we started. And if a client isn’t 100% satisfied, they don’t have to pay a penny. Fortunately, this has never happened as our team always goes above and beyond to make best in class content.

3. Simple Agreements: We don't use formal contracts for clients. Communication is key, and I use email to outline the scope of work. Once a project is completed, I send the agreed-upon assets and provide links to my PayPal or Venmo for payment. It's straightforward and hassle-free.

4. Word-of-Mouth Success: MBB 3D thrives on word-of-mouth and referrals. Over the years, our marketing and advertising budget has been zero. We focus on delivering exceptional work that speaks for itself.

5. Low Overhead: Since the beginning we operate with minimal financial overhead. Our project-based workforce allows us to keep costs low, and our fully remote team structure virtually eliminates any unnecessary expenses.

Due to the overwhelming success of MBB 3D, I made the decision In 2021 to fully commit to MBB 3D leaving the entertainment industry after a decades long career.

Since then, I have had the privilege of working with some of the biggest and most well known brands in the world, creating 3D digital twins and custom-branded virtual tours.

However, equally fulfilling are local businesses, best-in-class entrepreneurs, and top real estate professionals I’ve worked with over the years.

What excites me most is pushing boundaries and making my clients exceptionally happy.

Happy clients = all the success.
