As an explorer and technologist, I am passionate about innovatively leveraging new technologies to share the natural world. Growing up exploring the forests and bluffs of Council Bluffs, Iowa sparked my curiosity about what lies beyond at a young age.

With an extensive marketing, design, and development background after my video game and defense careers, Kiwe and I co-own a creative agency. I love helping expeditions amplify their message and serving expeditions as a tech guide. Having expertise in website development, eCommerce, creating expedition merchandise, and executing lucrative fundraising campaigns doesn’t hurt either.

As a member of The Explorers Club, I collaborate with others on their exploration opportunities. Interests include archaeological site documentation, and utilizing photogrammetry to recreate historical assets and locations. I enjoy frequent global travel to collect data like photographs, LiDAR scans, and audio recordings from the field.

My ultimate goal? Joining an Antarctic expedition to explore the frozen continent, catalog discoveries through innovative visualization techniques, and share these insights in new ways. I’m endlessly driven by a desire to educate others on responsible exploration while uncovering what lies over that next ridge.
