Growing up in Montana, I gained an appreciation for the outdoors at a young age. This appreciation instilled in me a lifelong need for adventure. While there was plenty to explore in the vast backcountry near my home, I soon felt compelled to explore new vistas. This led to the discovery of my greatest passion in life - visual storytelling.

​

After obtaining a photojournalism degree at the University of Montana, I began working as a freelance photographer, cinematographer, and writer. I spend most of my time traveling to far places to document people, cultures, environments and outdoor adventures. Through my work, I strive to shed light on untold stories.
