“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both. ”
―James A. Michener

Since the earliest days of co-founding Felt Soul Media (2005), I have found success by taking on projects that I care deeply about.
My photographic journey started with shooting photographs for the Telluride Daily Planet under Ben Knight’s watchful eye. Ben and I started Felt Soul Media together after a couple of years of sharing the responsibilities of covering the Telluride community for the newspaper. We actively used our photography background to help shape our approach to cinematography. Filmmaking soon took precedent over still images, but I always yearned to get back to my still body. In the last 5-10 years, I have refocused my storytelling efforts to better include still photography, often while directing brand supported documentaries, but occasionally solely as a still photographer. I often think of myself as a Director/Producer first and a Photographer second, but I am hoping to continue to blur the lines.
I live in Golden Colorado with my two daughters, wife and 13 chickens.
