• Creative, collaborative, good sense of humor. I love making creative things happen, especially outdoors and on the water. I’ve been told my work is funny and uplifting and bends toward the absurd. My biggest project to date is the feature documentary THE RACE TO ALASKA. It played in 25+ festivals around the world, won 4 audience choice awards, and is currently streaming in North America and Europe. The film takes over 70,000 individual clips shot over 7 years and weaves them into a fast paced epic adventure up the BC coast. I grew up in Seattle, studied visual art (BA) at Colorado College and film at Columbia University (MFA). I love sailing, driving, and vehicles of all kinds.
