Twenty years in combat. Then I picked up a camera.
I don’t photograph moments—I photograph stakes. The difference matters.
As a 20-year veteran of Canadian Special Operations Command with combat tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia, I understand what happens when there’s no second take. No room for error. No margin. That precision, that mentality—it’s baked into everything I shoot now.
In the film industry, I’ve worked as a tactical advisor and armorer on The Predator, Deadpool 2, Bad Times at the El Royale, Fire Country, Sheriff Country, The Last of Us, Invasion, and Allegiance. On set, I coached actors on gun handling, tactical movement, and military authenticity because realism matters. That experience taught me something essential: the best storytelling happens when you understand both the technical and human side of extreme moments.
Now that lens—literally and philosophically—drives my photography.
I shoot automotive and action sports at the edge: King of the Hammers where machines and drivers break simultaneously. Formula Drift where precision meets chaos. SEMA where athletes defy gravity. I’m a featured writer and photographer for PASMAG, capturing the raw intensity of speed, power, and commitment. I’ve shot for Walther Arms, MEC, and brands that demand authenticity over perfection.
Here’s what I bring: I understand pressure. I understand what separates good moments from decisive moments. I know how to position myself in chaos, how to anticipate the peak, and how to deliver when the stakes are real.
I’m also building a photography art therapy program for veterans—because this work means something beyond the frame.
When you need someone who shoots like they’ve got skin in the game, that’s me.
