Every successful outdoor production begins with thoughtful logistics, informed by a deep understanding of both the landscape and the demands of adventure sport. I spent the early part of my career as a backcountry and climbing guide, navigating remote terrain, managing risk, and supporting groups in challenging environments. That experience continues to shape the way I approach production today.
Whether I'm producing a commercial campaign or supporting a documentary in the field, I bring the same mindset: calm under pressure, clear communication, logistical foresight, and a deep respect for teamwork. The lessons I learned in the mountains, along with the professional certifications listed below, have shaped every step of my career and continue to influence how I lead productions today.
No matter the scale of the project, my goal remains the same: to create an environment where great work can happen, challenges are met with confidence, and every member of the team feels supported and safe along the way.
