I was born in Alaska and raised without electricity or running water. There was no TV. I didn’t have a flushing toilet until I went to college.  I read a lot of books.  Into my teens I could count on my hands the number of times I had visited a Cinema. If given the opportunity, my first choice of activity was always a movie.  A camera was always the coolest toy. 

We spent a lot of time in the backcountry on horseback and sleeping in a tepee. There were a lot of campfires and cold nights and stories told by lantern light. Stories. 

Images found in the imagination before a flickering firelight. Narrative architecture flowing forth from multiple voices. Untrained. Unrefined. Instinctual oral tradition. Bits of books and movies and experiences and memories and second-hand hearsay. Stories.

Stories got into the blood and became the only path forward. 

Today I work as a director, cinematographer and photographer. It’s all storytelling.

I’ve made independent films, dozens of music videos, commercials, documentaries and television programs for Netflix, Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, History Channel, A&E, Red Bull & many others.

This path has provided some amazing adventures and experiences.

I look forward to all those stories yet untold.
