LATEST PROJECTS
Following an intense year at SpaceX, the adventure continues around the world as the Look for the Good Project takes me to new places meeting new faces. A six-month trip gathering stories of gratitude and resilience, brings new inspiration and wonder to both the photographer and the supporters of the Together We Rise campaign. Learn more at www.lookforthegoodproject.org and through my updated portfolio.


I found good at 20,000' in Bolivia!

Published by the Look for the Good Project, this collection of gratitude-centric stories reflects much of my recent travel around the world. 100% of the proceeds from this book support the Look for the Good Hero Award, an Annual Scholarship Given to Children Showing Remarkable Resilience and Kindness.

ABOUT ME
MY WHEELHOUSE
LIFE PHILOSOPHY









An outdoorsy mechanical engineer with a bent towards tough challenges. Georgia-born, travel-hardy inventor with a focus on simplicity. Departed from the South, but chivalry and Christian faith remain alive and well. Adventure seeker pursuant of Earth's natural wonders.
MacGyver may just have been a cool TV show, but his penchant for getting out of hard situations is something to be yearned for. Insatiable appetite for learning new things in the engineering, creative, and outdoor recreation realms.
Tim Ferriss says it well: "The jack of all trades maximizes his number of peak experiences in life and learns to enjoy the pursuit of excellence unrelated to material gain, all while finding the few things he is truly uniquely suited to dominate." The allure of a new challenge to teach my body and mind to work together is irresistible.

CREATIVE //

REWSTERTALE PRODUCTIONS
is a creative outlet for the photo/video/music/written parts of my life. Hit record...and the rest just happens. Portfolio lives here

Jagged mountains jut out of the Norwegian Sea, where white sand beaches hide around the corner.

Late summer Oslo fjords hold their head long enough for a dip

CREATIONS //
OCCASIONAL BURSTS OF INSPIRATION
The list of ongoing fun projects is long...when one makes it across the finish line, there's cause for celebration.


Take a fork from the thrift store, add a blow torch and some pliers, and voila! A wearable kitchen utensil.

Hearts reworked with love, from the Rewstertale Productions workshop.

Fashioned from flatware of old, the wear from the process is left in to give an antique look.

When prototyping a new cell phone case, a workshop creature comes alive.

Who says you need a headset to have a comfortable conversation on your phone? Just use the spring-activated pop-out to give that old shoulder rest feel.

Spirit of New Haven comes out on this ride.
