As mainly a documentary and outdoors filmmaker, I use my skillsets to facilitate authentic storytelling by building trust and a minimally invasive presence as a field audio specialist, photographer, and cinematographer.

With a decade and a half of experience with international travel, backcountry expeditions, and high level outdoor adventure sports, I work to bring nimble access to high consequence environments to follow action as it happens.
