Alex is a compassionate and enthusiastic filmmaker, video editor, and photographer based in Portland, OR on a mission to photograph every bee. Growing up surrounded by the endless outdoors of Portland, OR going camping, hiking, and mountain biking, instilled in Alex an unwavering love of the outdoors and a commitment to share the majesty of our world and highlight the stories of those working to change it.

He is a Certified Photo Instructor / Naturalist for Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic aboard passenger expedition small cruise ships, leading guests through the wilderness of Alaska, PNW & British Columbia, Baja California, Antarctica, and more, as he teaches expedition photography and shares his love for the outdoors and environment. It was in this role that he found a deep passion for climate change communication and environmental education.

He’s filmed breaching humpbacks and killer whales off the coast of Alaska, directed a documentary in Florence, Italy about love and cheese, edited documentary film projects for Meta, Adidas, and OutsideTV, photographed adorably stinky penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula, and produced stories on cash bail reform and psychedelic medicine.

Ultimately, Alex is passionate about the intersection of social change, conservation, and the outdoors; he truly believes storytelling is the fundamental tool of healing and growth.

In his free time, Alex makes fan made music video film and comedy sketches with his bizarre, yet charming, friends from his student theater and stand-up comedy days.
