THE BIG CITY:   I went to the University of Calgary and graduated in 2014 with my degree in Mechanical Engineering. After school, I bought myself my first camera, and took a trip to Morocco, Croatia, and several other European countries. I didn’t realize at the time how life changing both travel and photography would be for me.

After returning from Europe, I took the first job that I could get as a project manager for a small construction company in Calgary. After a few years of this, I found myself fairly miserable and in need of a change.

OVERSEAS:   This is when my partner, Hilary, and I decided to head to New Zealand to live, work, and travel for 15 months. We spent most of that time in the town of Wanaka where I worked as a bike mechanic. Dream job! Looking back, it’s by far the best thing that I’ve ever done, but at the time it was extremely scary.

After returning to Canada in 2017, I realized that I had to prioritize lifestyle and location over career. So Hilary and I moved to the town of Fernie where the mountains are beautiful, the people are great, and the biking and skiing is out of this world.

CAMERA AND TRAVEL:   Remember when I said I bought a camera after graduating university? Well, what started as an interest in taking photos of hiking trips and travel ended up taking over my world. Photography eventually evolved to include motion and videography as well. And along the way, I wanted somewhere to put all of my photos and videos, as well as the stories behind them, which led to me learning how to build my first website.

This is how my journey into this world of visual media started, and years later I want to help other people create their brands, start new companies, or take their businesses to the next level.
