I am a director and director of photography.

Historically, this has been for outdoor companies hoping to capture the spirit of their athletes in their arena of choice—on the trails, the track, the court. But if you have a project with a more static subject matter that would be great.

I’ve sat in cow pastures in the middle of the Alps, climbed to the top of 14,000ft peaks, and sat at the bottom of boiling canyons for Work. It has mostly been worth it.

I am above average in height and I enjoy being friendly.

Past clients include: On Running, Under Armour, Strava, adidas Terrex, Puma, HOKA, The North Face, Merrell, Maurten, Bandit Running, Ciele, Brooks, Yonex, among others.

For photos and videos, near and far, please feel free to reach out.

Poly Tour Pro Strings

How do you show off the most popular string on tour? Get one of the best stringers in the ATP to come talk about stringing a racket. I pestered Julian with a lot of really annoying questions and he delivered soundbite after unbelievable soundbite.

Laura Cortez ‘s father is from a small city a few hours south of Mexico City that sits at the base of a 17,000ft volcano. This is one of the highest peaks in North America.

ADIDAS TERREX
Canyons Endurance Run

Have you ever been to an ultra marathon? It’s like a marathon but sometimes more than twice as long. In this case , I went to the Canyons Endurance Run to follow the professional trail running team for Adidas Terrex. They were all running 100k, which is about 62 miles. I condensed it into a 60 second Instagram Reel.
