I am a filmaker, a photographer, writer, designer, and digital media educator. As a freelancer, I’ve produced video content and photographed for advertising, editorial, and documentary projects and I’ve edited, written and designed for fine art photography books, blogs, and magazines. At the core, I am an explorer. I love to be going somewhere. And that includes while I’m creating work. Whether it’s carrying gear for weeks across the desert, or filming from a rope 1000 feet off the ground, snowshoeing in or snowboarding out, it’s the love of my work and these adventures that keeps me doing this. I love it when the job offers far flung adventure and I’m quick to pick up a challenge. Adaptable skills and a sense of the authentic image have been the core of imagery and I feel my ability to learn and adapt quickly is one of my greatest assets.
