My 2021 video reel featuring all of my biggest projects from the last year and a few extra favorites from years past. 2020 had in store some of my biggest professional successes as well as biggest failures. I gained new mentors and creative friends who have inspired me beyond belief and welcomed me into a new community of visual storytellers. I've learned on a deeper level how my work can positively impact people and reaffirmed my desire to leave a legacy of service to others moving forward. Here's to dreaming big and looking forward to the journey ahead!

Reducing forest fuels has been a top priority for Philmont Conservation since the Ute Park Fire in 2018. Crews of Staff and Scouts alike have been working to thin our forests by cutting down small trees and shrubs that hold the potential to exacerbate destructive crown fires. By eliminating this excess fuel, larger and healthier trees stand a better fighting chance. The excess "slash" is arranged into dense piles in the forest which, upon adequate snowfall, can be burned in an epic display. #philmont #pileburning #TSI #conservationcontinues #newmexicotrue #scoutmein

Since 1938, Philmont Scout Ranch has committed itself to providing profound wilderness adventures that last a lifetime. This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for over 80 years of adventure and 1 million+ lives changed in these historic mountains. We are more committed than ever to providing a world class experience for our participants now and for the next 80 years.

A common off-season activity at Philmont: fly fishing! In addition to our annual invitational, an adaptive program for veterans allows participants to experience the backcountry in an entirely new way.
