About The Teacher
FILMMAKER
Wanderer * Born in water
My dad handed me a camera when I was 7 to help film a family vacation video somewhere in Hawaii. Growing up I kept filming parties and trips, making edits and screenings for friends along the way. A nearly forgotten passion as I ventured into a business degree at university not realizing I could make a living with movies. Around that time I saw a photo of my sister working with whale sharks and mantas as a marine biologist, a sudden inspiration to change my career path and find a way to spend more time in the ocean. Filmmaking became a focus to reach places and stories I could only dream about before.
