I write, direct, shoot, and cut.
Most of it with Iron Brothers Films.

Photographer

Remote places and the spirit of adventure. After losing 300 pounds, I set out to see the world, and to capture what it feels like to finally be out in it.

Designer

A brand is a story told at a glance.
I tell the world that story. Check out the brand stories I’ve told.
