I specialize in creative content for thought-provoking brands. 

In 2005, an encounter with a Grizzly bear in the Montana wilderness brought online my passion for media. It prompted me to pursue a discipline in video, photography, and design, running parallel to a fundamental motivation behind the things I do; educate the curious.

Since that encounter I have worked on productions all around the world; in over 14 countries spanning 5 continents (including Antarctica). Based in Seattle, I get to align my career with my three biggest passions in life; art, the outdoors, and technology.

With over 16 years of experience in all stages of production for customer-facing media with brands like REI, Filson, Brooks Running, National Geographic, and more, I thrive at developing, concepting, writing, producing, and executing content across multiple channels for retail, advertising, and other entertainment projects.

I believe content is a powerful tool for brands to express their identity and the most interesting ways to have authentic conversations with your customer or user is through telling a good story. But that doesn't necessarily mean being like everyone else who thinks they're storytellers.

I bridge business needs with creative aspirations; streamlining productivity and ensuring an end product that never settles for ‘good enough’.
