Ricky "Jet" Guillermo Santos Jr. was born in Manila, Philippines. Growing up in his hometown Alaminos City, Pangasinan, Philippines

around amazing friends, family, and community.Eventually moving to beautiful islands of Hawai'i in early 2011 where family lives.

​​

​​​Ricky's creative journey truly began in Ilima Intermediate Middle School when he and a couple of his friends would adventure in different places on bikes, film school events, and businesses  (notably, Boba Cafe located in Ewa Beach) . These were a few passion projects that simply began with an iPhone where we would capture and edit from start to finish. Down the line purchasing his first camera, GoPro HERO 3+ which he used in multitude of events.

Ironically, his mother (Mergie Santos)  worked as Photographer and Developer for a company Agpha Color, based in the Philippines.  My motherhad a lot of passion in taking pictures as her family would have an extensive amount of images in the past that we continue to cherish today. This passion may have carried onto me as I've been inspired to "capture moments in time".
