Bio

I'm a documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and former wildlife biologist with a strong interest in impact production. I worked for four years as a wildlife biologist on the California condor recovery team in Arizona and Utah and produced my first documentary about the plight of the California condor. I'm a co-founder of the non-profit Wild Lens Collective, producer and director of several independent documentaries, including the award-winning "Bluebird Man", and co-director of "Sea of Shadows", which won the audience award an Sundance in 2019. I produce two environmentally themed podcasts, the interview series "Earth to Humans", and the documentary podcast, "Common Land".
