DOOM: The Documentary is out! Watch now at doom.film.
Many thanks to every single person involved as this grew to be the most expansive and rewarding project of my career. More later, but for now I’m feeling grateful and excited for people to watch this dang thing.
Dusting off the ole IG machine to talk about some projects I worked on last year. This is On the Attack presented by Life Time.
I was tasked with telling the story of four Life Time Grand Prix races (both men’s and women’s) last year from August-October. Here’s a few stats of what was accomplished in that time:
- 8 videos produced or 90 minutes of finished media
- 26 athletes interviewed
- 10.5 terabytes of footage shot
- 150+ hours of edit time
- 715,000 views
It was a great privilege to interview the athletes as soon as they finished the most iconic off-road races in the world and get to hear firsthand the tactics, mindset, and stories from out on course.
I couldn’t have accomplished any of it without the teamwork of many people. Namely my partner in crime @dannyluksa , who singlehandedly willed many things into existence. Also, @_masonmohn_ who proved pivotal in crucial situations where time was against us. @brianfreemanphoto who was out slinging some sweet chicken rat shots. The athletes for taking time after the races to speak with us. And of course @lifetimegrandprix for trusting me to tell awesome stories.
It was a fun ride and a season I’ll look back on fondly.
The Journey Home | Los Angeles Rams
Following star wide receiver Puka Nacua, The Journey Home is exactly that: a trip to Samoa, the place where Puka’s grandmother called home. There Puka and his mother revisit family history and give back to the community by raising diabetes awareness and spending time at local schools.

DOOM: The Documentary | Trailer just dropped today!
Doom 2025 was already going to be hard—just look at the name. But when storms swept through the Ozarks, flooding the region days before the start, it became something else entirely.
As riders arrived at the start point, organizer Andrew Onermaa (@onermaa )rebuilt the entire 400+ mile route to avoid flooding as much as possible. In near-freezing, soaking wet conditions, Doom 2025 would demand uncommon grit.
Told through the eyes of six racers and Onermaa, DOOM: The Documentary paints a portrait of the heart of bikepacking. Weaving through the stunning landscape of the Ozarks, riders must make calculated decisions about water crossings, resupply, when or if to sleep, among other challenges. The race is entirely self-supported and participants must be ready for anything that can and does occur: a true test of the human spirit.

Very grateful to play a small role with this team as they reach meteoric heights. Always happy to collaborate with everyone and flex the football shooting muscles every once in a while.
Shoutout @robertgalberinojr@gconnelly08@danevanwhy@dannyluksa@ostynw@lukidean@corbinmeier and the rest of The Franchise crew. Doing unbelievable things 🙏
Got to do my favorite thing and shoot some bikes this weekend! Unbound didn’t disappoint. I had the privilege of witnessing a historic women’s race unfold right before my eyes (and lens). 200 miles of beautiful Flint Hills. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and one I don’t take for granted.
I’m feeling grateful to work with such a badass team in @coldcollaborative . It’s a rare combination of insane talent, teamwork, and humility. I leave each shoot feeling inspired and motivated by everyone that I get to work with.
The team works to execute a 2 day turnaround with comprehensive race coverage and character stories. It’s hard to put into words the kind of effort this takes. @shannonvandivier steers a massive ship and always gets us where we need to go. I’m glad I can play a small role in helping shape the story and allowing everyone to experience this awesome, brutal, and beautiful race.

Our goal was two-fold: make sure Paige gets the necessary race recon she needs and ensure I get the proper coverage to tell that story. This is the result of a lot of planning (Paige is pretty good at that), communication, and teamwork. We hope it helps people prepare for their big day out in the Flint Hills.
Thank you to a lot of people who helped make this possible

Shoutout @danevanwhy for capturing this moment of me capturing a moment.
I try not to take nights like this for granted. It’s awesome and I’m grateful to still work with 65TPT in small ways.
Also, I’m continuously falling in love with the @djiglobal 4D. It’s an incredible camera and paired with the @dzofilm Vespid primes, it’s a force to be reckoned with.
