Experience:

I grew up in a hunting family, where time in the woods was second nature. One of my earliest memories is turkey hunting behind our house with my dad, and listening to my brother’s old handycam recordings of gobbling birds on repeat. Nights spent around the cabin watching old turkey DVDs before opening day helped spark a lifelong passion for the hunt.

At 14, I went on my first solo bowhunt. After a hand injury, I had to transition to a crossbow—but I never let that slow me down. Growing up in my dad’s woodworking shop instilled a strong work ethic in me—showing up, putting in the effort, and giving 110% whether I’m in the woods or working with a client.

For the past nine years, I’ve been filming hunts and telling stories through the lens—capturing everything from western elk and predator hunts to a moose hunt in Canada and fishing adventures in New York. I’ve had the opportunity to film for Pure Hunting TV and Art of the Wild TV, both featured on the Outdoor Channel, as well as contributing to TV series productions. Most recently, I traveled to Iowa to film turkey hunts for The Graduates, a TV show produced through Film The Hunt.

Today, I combine my passion for storytelling with running a thermal drone deer recovery service using the DJI Matrice 30T—helping others recover their game while continuing to document the moments that matter most.

I’m always looking to build new relationships, create lasting connections, and gain as many experiences as possible in this industry. My goal is simple: keep telling authentic hunting stories and take every opportunity to grow along the way.

I’m blessed with a supportive wife, two amazing kids, and a dream of one day filming a hunt in Alaska—or even a reindeer hunt.
