Starting at age ten, he performed on various stages for both community and professional theater all across the Twin Cities metro (he was awarded the title of Outstanding Performance in a Lead Role by the Hennepin Theatre Trust for High School Musical). While continuing to pursue an acting career, Raphael also began training and educating himself in the arts of film/cinematography, writing, and post-production. He was exposed to the film industry in 2021 by casting director Beverly Holloway who introduced him to the Kendrick Brothers. The Kendricks later cast him into their 2022 movie Lifemark. He has since then wrapped various faith-based film projects all across the US.
