Director + DP
 

Hi there. 

My best friends call me Scout. Maybe it’s because I’m a curious sort of human. Or because I’m terrible at turning around if there’s even possibly something exciting just around the bend or over the ridge. I grew up in Alaska, with adventurous parents who practiced an ethos of social responsibility, environmentalism and adventure.

I’m in search of truth in my experiences, and the camera is my tool of choice for engagement with the world. I'm passionate about creating, building, and conspiring, which is why my projects encompass such a wide range—I like doing many things, and my main focus as a storyteller is as a director and DP.    

I create story-driven content with soul.

I’ve filmed changemakers in Africa, ultrarunners in Chile, and suffer-experts doing all sorts of sketchy things from climbing runout lines to running through sub-zero temperatures across the Continental Divide. I once accidentally started a spontaneous disaster relief organization that ended up doing a lot of good things with some really really good people. With my cohorts Alisa Geiser and Steph Sizemore I’ve helped to inspire thousands of parents with the Born Wild Project to get outside with their kids (and hopefully raise them to be good conservationists). I'm a good partner for the zombie apocalypse too—I was obsessed with survival skills as a kid and know a lot of random things as a result. Running really far, mountain biking, snow on two planks or one and climbing are how I get my nature fix on. I like to stay kinetic.

I’m based in the Columbia River Gorge with my husband Corey Arnold, our children Wolfie and Shiloh Fox, and our animals friends Nooka Bear, Dewey, and Duck.
