My purpose is to reveal beauty and human potential. I try to do that by reinventing our world with the following projects:
LETS REINVENT HIGHER EDUCATION. I founded Blue Fractal to address the demand for new higher ed for a rapidly changing consciousness. Think renowned creatives as faculty mentors, immersive learning, transformative global experience. Maximizing students’ potential and mental health is woven into the fabric.

LET’S REINVENT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. What happens when we teach our most struggling and marginalized teens to become amazing nature photographers? And then guide them on wilderness expeditions around the US and abroad? Something beautiful, that’s what happens. I founded and ran In a New Light for over a decade. The videos below capture the experience. nwpltd.org/inanewlight/
LET’S REINVENT EXPLORATION. I co-founded this company that’s opening the world’s largest body of freshwater to experiences never before possible, utilizing a thrilling piece of technology. Three words: 1. Wonder 2. Awe. 3. Horsepower. taigatreks.com
LET’S NOT REINVENT NATURE. But let’s reinvent our relationship with it. I am first a nature photographer and I have been for twenty years. Everything else in my life stems from that. Beyond Below is a current major photography project I plan to release in summer 2024. For now, details will remain intentionally mysterious, but I’ll hint that it involves a very warm drysuit, high-tech underwater equipment, and an insane (literally!) amount of patience. Oh, okay. I’ll also give you a teaser photo.
LET’S REINVENT OUR STORIES. So yeah, I’m giving birth to a few new TV shows. Humans are story creatures. We rely on stories to guide us as a species. Maybe you’ve noticed, but the world has changed drastically in the last few centuries—let alone the last few years—and we are now lacking the new stories and new mythologies to help us make sense of it all. I want to change that. Network execs can find my creator profile at catalystories.org.
