About
If you're on this website, there's a pretty good chance you already know me, my work, or someone who sent you here.
Before picking up a camera full time, I competed at Olympic level in the 49er sailing class — racing internationally until 2021, when I stepped away from competition to pursue media full time. The ocean never left. It's still in most of what I make.
Most of all, I'm interested in telling stories worth paying attention to. If you'd like to work together, get in touch.
What I do
I make films and take photos for brands, athletes, influencers, and anyone with a story worth telling — from global campaigns to scrappy one-person projects.
Depending on what you need: short-form social content, photo campaigns, mid-length brand films, YouTube-native stories, or longer documentary-style pieces. I direct, shoot, edit, and produce. On bigger productions I lean on a trusted network of filmmakers, editors, and creatives I've worked with for years.
The subject doesn't matter as much as the story — and there's always a story. Content gets boring. Stories matter.

In a world where attention is everything, YouTube remains the single most powerful platform for long-form storytelling. I’ve spent time studying what works — the pacing, the thumbnails, the hooks, the algorithm — and more importantly, how to write stories that feel native to the platform without losing what makes them worth watching. Here are three examples of YouTube-first work.
