I grew up in a small town in Upstate New York where I spent most of my childhood playing hockey and lacrosse. I had been introduced to skiing at a young age where I was fortunate enough to travel out west to Utah quite often to ski with my family. I was just like any other kid where I enjoyed going outside, playing some video games and spending time with my close friends.

The first activity that totally gripped me at a young age was the sport of paintball. What started as an innocent outing at a birthday party turned into a total obsession. I traveled up and down the northeast on a team made up of Americans and Canadiens. At the ripe age of 14, I was playing against some of the best players in the nation and in 2009, we made it to the North American Xball Finals in Canada. Ultimately, the league collapsed after that year and being 14 years old, broke with no car - I unfortunately fell distant from the sport as there wasn’t many options to continue playing in Upstate New York at the time. The sport of paintball truly showed me what passion was and was a critical part of my development at an impressionable part of my life. The lessons I learned traveling and being apart of a highly collaborative environment are things that I use nearly 15 years later.

The next chapter of my life began around the age of 16 as I was playing hockey and lacrosse for my highschool in Cazenovia, New York. My dad was always a sports car enthusiast, so we ended up going to a racetrack in Monticello, New York where he let me drive his Lotus Exige in hopes that I would rid the desire to go fast on the street. As my father and I shared the bond of being at the track together, this activity only grew larger as we transitioned from racing locally to regionally to nationally and ultimately professionally in 2013. I found great success in the road racing realm with my most notable achievements being 2014 Mazda MX5 Cup Rookie of the Year, 2016 Porsche GT3 Cup USA runner-up and a 2016 Porsche Young Driver Academy winner.

I think it’s also important to mention that around the time as my racing career was getting started, I graduated from high school in the class of 2011 where we won both the ice hockey and lacrosse state championships. We had a near perfect two seasons where we went undefeated in ice hockey (25-0) and only had 1 loss in lacrosse (23-1) for a total record of 48-1. After high school, I headed off to college at a small school in the Fingerlakes called Hobart College.

We did the whole college thing in 4 years where my original plan was to follow my father’s footsteps and become a doctor - so I chose a cirriculum that satisfied the requirements for med school. I had a change of heart towards the end of my junior year, but I was so far into the courses that I couldn’t really change directions. I graduated in 2015 with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biochemistry and was accepted into a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program at the University of Colorado in 2016.

I think this was the first time in my life where I was starting to figure out myself and what I was called to do. Graduate school was the first time I was truly on my own without the influence of family or friends that I had grown up with my whole life.I was able to be whoever I wanted because no one knew who I was - it was refreshing and liberating. I spent so much of my college years in the library reading about various chemistry reactions and pathways that I never explored what I actually wanted to do.

Being surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I spent most of my time outdoors - be it hiking in the summer, skiing in the winter or just taking drives up into Rocky Mountain National Park. I was familar with GoPro cameras from my racing and skiing endeavors, so I started taking my (at the time) GoPro Hero 4 along with me to document my adventures and showcase the beauty that I was living in.

Like most things in my life, I went all out in learning about cameras - the settings, the techniques, the editing. I would go to my business classes and then head down to the library where I would read textbooks on cinematography and best practices. It was during this time where I started a YouTube channel, shared my adventures on my Instagram in a more organized manner, and began to realize the potential of photography and videography.

After receiving my MBA, I moved out to Park City, Utah where I accepted a job working at an outdoor television station. I transitioned to working at a luxury real estate brokerage as the Director of Videography shortly after that.

Through the years, I continued to document my journey, my travels and my experiences on YouTube. It was a platform where I could make whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Largely influenced by the work ethic of Casey Neistat and the creative style of Sam Evans, I slowly mixed my adventurous lifestyle with my passion for storytelling.

In June of 2022, I was fortunate enough to be able to leave my position as Director of Videography and pursue a life on my own terms. Since then, I have been a full-time online creator and nearly everything has come full circle. I have been able to return to the sport of paintball, continue racing sports cars around the country, ski the most incredible snow the west has to offer and document my life while doing so.

With over 40,000 subscribers on my self-titled YouTube channel, I create vlogs documenting my adventures and travels out west. I share my passions through creativity and visuals in hopes to inspire other people to follow what sets them on fire.
