I grew up in Byron Bay, always knowing that film was my medium. At first it was all about acting but through the combined passions of film and surf I ended up filming friends in the waves, this developed and grew into several internationally distributed surf films. The surf films were a great way to get the practical hands on experience I needed to then shoot my travel film 1REVOLUTION.  After releasing 1REVOLUTION, I landed me a job at Lonely Planet. Since then I have worked on an array of short narrative pieces to gain as much experience as possible for my first feature film which is currently in pre-production.

My ambition is to continuing to make a combination of travel and narrative films to further my exploration of the human condition and this experience we call life.
