After writing, directing, and shooting hundreds of client projects over a decade, I made Hatching Eagles, a documentary film that tells the unlikely story of the quickest ever rise from beginner to Olympic heroes.

The film is available worldwide on Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Google Play in 66+ territories, and flights aboard United Airlines across all continents. Worldwide sales & distribution by Journeyman Pictures (UK).

These days my work drifts between stories, docs, and writing. A book is on its way, set along secluded rivers beneath the midnight sun.

I live in Kuopio, Finland. Drawn by love for Arctic nature, I wander its landscapes, fly rod in one hand, camera in the other. Running, cycling, books, and dad life keep me grounded. Feel free to get in touch.
