I spent the early part of my career as a backcountry and climbing guide, navigating remote terrain, managing risk, and supporting group dynamics in high-stakes environments. That experience continues to shape the way I show up on set. Whether I'm producing a commercial shoot or working on a documentary project, I bring the same mindset: calm under pressure, clear communication, logistical foresight, and a deep respect for teamwork. Those years in the mountains taught me how to lead with adaptability and that every successful production, like every successful expedition, is built on trust, preparation, and the ability to problem-solve in real time.
