Producer / Director working in premium documentary and character-driven factual storytelling. I specialize in filming in dynamic and challenging environments where story, environment and character unfold in real time. Comfortable self-shooting when required, particularly in remote, expedition and survival settings, while equally experienced leading larger documentary crews and shaping story over a full season arc. Recent work includes directing multiple seasons of Northwoods Survival (Amazon Prime Canada / National Geographic US / Disney+), and serving as Series Director on An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, winner of the 2025 Canadian Screen Award for Best Science or Nature Program or Series.

Straightforward to deploy internationally, including UK and EU filming.
