Born in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I grew up with an affinity for finding trouble. Or at least a good story. That curiosity led me to photojournalism, where I spent long, hot days chasing the pulse of Austin, Texas, and its surrounding towns. From there, I jumped into commercial filmmaking. Crafting creative stories with creative people.

Now based in Seattle, I lead brand creative and production at Outdoor Research, directing art across photography, film, and campaign development.
