After writing, directing, and shooting hundreds of customer projects over a decade, I made Hatching Eagles, a documentary film I worked on almost entirely by myself, as an experiment and out of passion for filmmaking.
The film tells the unlikely story of the quickest ever rise from beginner to Olympic heroes. It is available worldwide on Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Google Play in 66+ territories.

Today, I work on new films and collaborate with a variety of brands. I’m also writing a book set by secluded rivers under the midnight sun.
I’m based in Kuopio, Finland, but my work takes me places.
Running, hiking, fly fishing, cycling, books and dad life keep me grounded.
