Stories about people, wild places, and the quiet transformations that happen between them.
I’m a Canadian writer and photographer working across editorial features, destination storytelling, and literary fiction. My work focuses on immersive experiences in natural environments, exploring how encounters with oceans, mountains, and remote places shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us. Alongside longer-form creative work, I collaborate selectively with publications, tourism organizations, and outdoor brands on narrative-driven assignments rooted in real-world experience.
Selected Work
A first-person narrative about travelling alone for the first time, exploring how one journey to the Bahamas became the beginning of a lifelong relationship with travel - and the person I was becoming.
Stepping Toward the Water
A narrative piece on fear, risk, and discovery, while learning to surf in Costa Rica’s crocodile-infested waters.
Learning to Surf with Crocodiles
An editorial feature on swimming with sharks in Bora Bora, blending lived experience with practical guidance for the journey.
Swimming with Sharks in Bora Bora
A reflective road trip through the Canadian Rockies, exploring how the pursuit of an iconic viewpoint became a lesson in slowing down and embracing the journey itself.
The Journey to Peyto Lake
A feature on Ontario's June Motel that explores how thoughtful design, quiet landscapes, and intentional hospitality can transform a simple weekend escape into something memorable.

Books
A short story collection tracing youth, memory and the return to a childhood community.
The first half of the collection depicts Trent's life growing up beside Fourteen Mile Creek. The stories range from Trent's youth up until his early twenties, as he ventures into the forest, searches for birds of prey, builds forts and drinks alcohol for the first time. The second half of the collection presents Trent's experience with the passing of an old, elementary school friend. After not seeing any of his old friends in almost ten years, Trent chronicles his return to his past life and tries to figure out his place in all of it.

Longer WorkI’m currently working on a novel about anxiety, unlived dreams, and what it means to step toward the water instead of away from it.
