Alex is a documentary-focused DP and field producer, and he is regularly hired to film documentary and docu-style productions, high-end interviews, and adventure sports.
Equal parts journalist and technician, Alex is as comfortable conducting interviews as he is lighting them. He thrives in physically challenging environments, and in 2022 completed Basic Wildland Firefighter training (S130/S190) with the state of Colorado, as well as Hostile Environment Training (HEFAT) with Vice News in Los Angeles.
An accomplished outdoorsman, Alex has skied first descents in Svalbard, scuba dived fjords in Iceland, mountain biked Western China, and climbed 35 of Colorado's 14,000' peaks.
He has worked extensively throughout the US, as well as Bolivia, Panama, Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, Norway, and Canada.
