Mark vahradian biography

Mark Vahradian was well on his way toward a career as an attorney. After earning a degree in political science from Duke University, he was working his way through law school at the University of California–Los Angeles. He already had some connections in Washington, D.C., and a future in legislative law seemed like a safe bet.

Then his heart got in the way.

He pivoted and set his sights on movie production.

Now, 25 years later, he’s best known as the patriarch of the “Transformers” series.

His films have grossed billions of dollars and earned multiple Oscar nominations for their visual effects, and he’s worked with stars such as Bruce Willis, Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Helen Mirren, and Mark Wahlberg.

Vahradian’s also a lifelong swimmer, and he says there’s a logical connection between his background in the pool and eventual Hollywood success.

Swimmers, of course, learn to persist. Al
