A platform dedicated to understanding and evolving a deeper connection with the natural world. From the ways nature influences our society to stories of people working on conservation issues, this is a newsletter where we’re working to rediscover our Human Nature, for ourselves and the planet.

FILMS

The Faces of Skyline Forest series is an eight-part video series featuring individuals who have a lasting connection to Skyline Forest, located in Central Oregon. This video campaign garnered over 13 million views across social platforms, resulting in more than 100 new donor sign-ups and increased community awareness for the Save Skyline Forest campaign.

I co-wrote, directed, and produced the series, which is also being turned into a short film, which will be premiering this fall.

Get To Know Me

I’m a journalist, writer, and filmmaker exploring how the natural world shapes our cultures, societies, and political structures. From coastal fishing villages in Sinaloa to remote wildernesses in the American West, my work is dedicated to exploring how our lives, society, and world are tied to the natural world.

Through this work, I’m fighting to spark curiosity, deepen connection, and inspire action to protect and understand our beautiful planet.
