As a child innocent of the world outside of Missoula, Montana.
I discovered the camera and began reflecting on my relationship to these landscapes.
My highschool senior project and first film My Montana Backcountry became the catalyst of venturing into the unknown.
My youth spent sojourning in Ecuador during Global Citizen Year,
trekking in the Himalayas, making work in partnership with Teach for India, and volunteering in Greek refugee camps.
I learned to think differently about what makes a story “special” – not in terms of “exotic” locales, but in terms of authentic, responsible, and compelling storytelling.
Enlisting as an early participant at Watson Institute for social entrepreneurship with
an earnest desire to save the world... I come away with a humility that first we
must take better care of ourselves and our communities.
I've re-dedicated myself to storytelling in the Rocky Mountain West.
A reflection on inhabiting Indigenous land, acting in service of my family, and living sustainably.
It's the true tale of coming home,
where the river runs through it...
