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.

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 medical 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 Boulder 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 familiar 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.

With over 60,000 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.
