Over the years, I’ve named and renamed this blog more times than I can count.

Each time, I was trying to capture what we do—the energy of the work, the magic of the wildlife, the grit of the journey. But nothing ever quite felt right. It just didn’t fully reflect who I am or what this life is actually like.

Until now.

I’ve finally landed on a name that feels good:
A Day in the Life of a Wildlife Guide and Photographer.

It fits, because that's truly what this blog and my YouTube channel have become—a window into what we do out there. Not just the epic moments with polar bears, orcas on the hunt, or dancing with sharks... but the full reality of our days in the field.

The early mornings.
The gear failures.
The missed sightings.
The quiet days where the ocean feels empty.
The magic we chase anyway.

If you’ve watched my YouTube videos, you already know they’re far from polished.

They’re raw, in-the-moment, and definitely flawed—but I love them that way. They’re honest. They share the heart and soul of what we experience out there.

Until now, I’ve mostly shared highlights—those big, cinematic moments when nature delivers something unforgettable. And don’t get me wrong—I’ll keep sharing those.

But I’ve been thinking…

Maybe it’s time to start sharing the lows, as well.

The days when nothing shows up.
The long waits.
The breakdowns.
The hours of effort that go into those brief flashes of beauty.

It might bore some people. But I think others might find it refreshing. Real. Even inspiring. Because that’s what these trips are actually like.

Wild places don’t follow scripts. And neither do we.

So, this name—A Day in the Life of a Wildlife Guide and Photographer—is more than just a title. It’s a direction. For this blog. For our channel. For how I want to tell these stories.

Thanks for being here, and for following along on this wild ride.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

I started my YouTube channel back in 2011, inspired by a simple yet powerful idea: to share this incredible world without fences.

I wanted to bring people closer to the wild, to showcase the beauty and magic of this world that I love, and tell stories that matter.

But somewhere along the way, I got away from it all.

The truth is, I just wasn’t consistent with it. Recording video, editing footage, writing, crafting stories, and editing images—it’s a lot to take on, especially when you’re doing it all yourself.

It became overwhelming, and my focus shifted elsewhere.

Yet, despite stepping back—the love for sharing these wild places and incredible moments—never left me.

Now, I’m ready to return to the channel, to reconnect with what made me start this journey in the first place. Telling fun stories about the wildlife we encounter.

Of course my videos are not about perfection—it’s about sharing. Sharing raw, unfiltered moments, the challenges, the triumphs, and the beauty of the world I’m so lucky to explore.

I’ve realized that even if it’s not always polished, it’s worth it to share these stories. Because for every tiger sighting, every ibex photo, every encounter with a polar bear, there’s something deeper—a connection to nature that I hope inspires others to explore, protect, and cherish the wild.

I’m excited to get back into the rhythm of creating, even if it’s not always easy. Sharing these moments with you is what makes it worthwhile.

A Heartfelt Thank You

For those who’ve been here since the beginning, like my buddy Steve Crawford, who is always encouraging me to share more stories… thank you! and to everyone who has been a part of this journey, thank you for sticking with me.

This is a new chapter, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Let’s explore this world without fences, one story at a time.
