I’m excited to launch this new blog! Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes stories, reflections on projects, and highlights from my journey as a Twin Cities documentary filmmaker.


This is a space to showcase both the artistry and the process of visual storytelling. You’ll see behind-the-scenes stills, stories from my collaborations with Lindsey Seavert, and highlights from my work with organizations such as Macalester College, Carleton College, St. Thomas University, Children’s Minnesota, Minnesota Public Radio, American Public Media, and Xcel Energy.

What’s Next

This blog will be updated weekly with new posts: project spotlights, creative reflections, and glimpses into my process as a photographer, videographer, filmmaker, and drone pilot.

I hope you’ll follow along. And if you’re looking for a documentary filmmaker in the Twin Cities, I’d love to connect.
