ABOUT
Ever since man began drawing on cave walls, we've told stories. I developed a passion for storytelling in the third grade, when I won a contest with a terrible poem about a lamp. Since then, I've pursued the craft of constructing narratives with various mediums: print, audio, video, photography and speech.
Currently researching for a documentary on biophilic design.

My four years at one of the largest evangelical universities in the world were tumultuous and challenging, but ultimately offered valuable experience. This included writing news, features, and editorials for the school publication. I later was promoted to Digital Editor, where I created video content. After years of unfair administrative censorship, I left with other staff to create an independent publication. This is my proudest achievement to date.
