    Do you want to tell a story? Have you ever been reading a book or watching a movie and been overwhelmed with a deeper sense of passion than you thought you could experience. And you wish so desperately to convey those same emotions and presence to someone else. You get some inkling of what you ought to say, but don't quite know how to put it into words, and when you do, it just doesn't have the same weight to it that you know it should? Let me be the guiding hand that can help bring your story to light. What medium are you looking to produce, Book? Video? Movie? Game? Each has its own unique flavor, an emotional delivery system tailored to a specific audience. Whether you are telling the story about the life of a leaf, from bud to brown. A soldier, war torn and dejected. Or a new parent, and the struggle of raising a child on their own. Let me help you tell the story you feel like you were born to tell.

    I am a skilled DP on both land and sea, with underwater filming experience. I'm a skilled sailer, a licensed drone operator and have professionally filmed two ocean crossings. My debut docu-series Not By Chance: A Journey Between Shaper & Surfer is a 6-part exploration of surf culture through the collaboration of master shapers and surfers worldwide. This series was officially selected at the Anglet International, Florida Surf, and Santa Barbara Film Festivals, among others, and won Best Surf Film at SSFF Milano 2024. Having filmed with world-renowned talent, traveling the world and working in remote locations, I have come away with diverse knowledge of what it takes to craft a narrative and shoot an episodic series. Coming from Whidbey Island, Washington, a connection to the natural world has always been a part of my life. As I evolved as an artist it was important to follow my curiosity and collect stories along the way. Having lived in Mexico, Hawaii, NY, LA, and France, I’ve found that the most interesting stories to tell are those of passionate people. My vision as a filmmaker intersects with the subject matter and people to cast a light on their personal process and contribution to the world. From sailing adventures, to harvesting food, to chasing world-class waves, or simply having fun, I’m interested in documenting those stories in the hope of inspiring others to live authentically.
