I used to think I needed one clean title: athlete, designer, or filmmaker. Turns out the interesting part is where they overlap.
I'm a Raleigh kid who played D2 at USC Aiken and Wingate. I know the 6am practices nobody films, the bus rides, the film room, and the particular way a team sounds before a game. Then I tore my ACL at 20 and had to figure out who I was without a jersey.
What stayed with me was the part that doesn't tear: I know what it costs to care about a thing. That's the eye behind every frame—whether I'm in a gym, at a HYROX race, or courtside.
I picked up a camera and a keyboard at the same time — two ways of building when I couldn't hoop. Design became the career, but the camera stayed close. I cut my teeth shooting artists and music videos, learning light, movement, and how to let someone be themselves under a lens.
The career taught me the system. The court taught me the game. The camera is how I bring them together.
My work lives around HYROX athletes, coaches, trainers, gym owners, and the communities they're building. The design years are why the content has a point. The production years are why it feels considered. And the athlete years are why I know when to shoot—and when to get out of the way.
The story isn't just the finish line. It's the work that gives it meaning.
Film V1—a longer basketball story—is in production now. It's the slowest, most deliberate thing I've made, and basketball is still a lane I want to keep building in.
I'm also leaning further into the fitness world: HYROX, trainers, gym stories, and campaigns built around performance. Documentary taught me how to find the moment. Directing is how I build one from scratch.
Some days that's documenting your real grind. Some days it's directing a full concept shoot. Either way, the work has to move like you actually move.
I know the reps, the rhythms, and the moments that matter—on the court, in the gym, and on race day. That's what I bring to every frame.
One viral clip is luck. A consistent, compounding body of work is a strategy. Everything I make is built to last a season, not a single scroll.
