About Me

I am 28 years old and have been shooting photos and video for over 10 years. I love to travel and have been fortunate enough for my camera work to take me to some beautiful places around the world and meet some fantastic people along the way.

I have worked with many cameras over the years from super8 and 16mm film to hi8 and miniDV camcorders and now P2 HD and DSLR cameras that produce truly beautiful images.

My experience over the years includes working for Ride Lounge Productions filming 16mm film and video for the TV show "The Sacred Ride", working as videographer for the Canadian National Snowboard team leading up to the Torino Olympics, and producing, directing, filming and editing 4 of my own snowboard films with Core World Productions. Along the way I have also filmed freelance for some great companies including Treetop Films, Tribute Boardshop, Thunderstruck Films, and Premium Skateboards. Projects have included everything from exteme sports, travel documentaries, music videos, interviews and training videos to wedding videos, web based comercials and art films.

I am always up for trying something new and I'm always up to jump on a plane and jet off somewhere exotic or just find a unique perspective on some where familiar.
