I create to understand more about myself and the world we live in. The more I create the more I learn both inward and out!

I like to think of myself as an outdoor enthusiast by day and photographer filmmaker by night! All jokes aside, whether I’m in the mountains trekking, on the trail hiking or documenting athletes pushing their limits, my goal is to create imagery that immerses viewers and makes them feel like they were there. I don’t just take photos or film videos, I craft narratives that resonate, helping individuals connect with the world and each other through powerful, purpose-driven photo & video.
Where do you find inspiration?I 1000% find my inspiration in nature. I find that is at its most in the mountains but really any type of nature sparks inspiration. Being outdoors and capturing how awesome humans can be!
What would you do with $25,000?With this $25,000 it would go towards funding my dream of becoming full time outdoor adventure photographer/filmmaker. Creating art with human connection to this planet and showing the world how amazing we really are!
