About

I was born abroad and raised by American missionaries in the Dominican Republic. I have spent a great portion of my life traveling the world (30+ countries) and acquiring a unique perspective on the places we call home. I’ve worked for the last decade as a filmmaker, primarily in the nonprofit space – writing, directing, and producing projects that have the potential to make the world a better place.

I met my wife Shannon in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2018 while filming an awareness campaign for A21, and we married not long after. Together with our Golden Retriever, Rose – we now live in Fort Worth, TX.

We are members and actively serving in our local church – Mercy Culture.
