I am a filmmaker, director, cinematographer, and editor based in Bozeman, Montana. My work spans documentary, commercial, and branded storytelling for companies including Patagonia, REI, NetJets, Four Seasons, Red Bull, SITKA Gear, Brain Farm, Teton Gravity Research, Tastemade, and many others. Over the last decade, I have built a career around capturing authentic stories in wild places and helping brands connect with audiences through meaningful visual narratives.
My experience ranges from directing branded campaigns and documentaries to shooting commercial work, adventure films, and limited series productions. I bring a blend of creative vision, production leadership, and hands-on technical expertise to every project.
Whether leading a crew or working as a lean run-and-gun filmmaker, I thrives in collaborative environments where great stories are built through trust, curiosity, and a shared vision of the story. As the above African proverb says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
That philosophy continues to guide my approach to filmmaking, teamwork, and life—creating work that not only looks beautiful but leaves a lasting impact and brings others along on the journey.
