For my Canadian friends:

Like travel television? Here's a link to watch some of the shows I was a part of over the last decade. The best part is, they are free to watch in Canada!

Stepping into the role of Director of Photography for these shows was a wild ride—traveling the world, encountering extraordinary people, and on more than one occasion, narrowly avoiding the disaster of a camera-turned-artifact at the bottom of a canyon, all because the view was too stunning to look away.

It's been an enlightening expedition, illuminating the breathtaking beauty our planet has to offer. I hope you enjoy the adventures, a good laugh, and perhaps, stumble upon a dash of inspiration along the way.

Television Work:

From 2010 to 2020, I worked as Director of Photography on the adventure travel series Extreme Treks and Tough Rides, both of which reached their third seasons and aired on Discovery Channel, Outdoor Network, and BBC Earth. For Tough Rides, I filmed the circumnavigation of China, India, and Brazil by motorcycle. For Extreme Treks, I captured high-altitude expeditions to Aconcagua, Mt. Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro.

Below you can find some clips from those series. You can also check out my IMDB profile or subscribe to my YouTube channel where you can watch all the trailers of series I’ve shot.

Fredericton Stories

Like many others who had spent years living abroad, I returned home during the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, that meant coming back to Fredericton, New Brunswick—a beautiful city on Canada’s eastern coast where I grew up, and where I’ve now chosen to finally put down roots.

Fredericton has much to offer, and I set out to meet people who could help tell its story—people whose perspectives reflect the same truths I’ve come to rediscover. Together, we’ve captured a portrait of this place through their eyes.

I hope you enjoy these stories from my hometown.
