As many of you know, I have spent the past approximately 3 years working on an incredible documentary project. This project took me all the way from the deserts of Baja to the Arctic Ocean. It is with great pride that I can finally share the first trailer for the film The Whale Lagoon! This journey has been incredible, and I am thankful for all of the opportunities and adventures it provided me, as well as all the amazing people I met and worked with along the way. Can't wait for this project to be released to the world!

Nearly three weeks down in Baja California Sur, and now it’s time to go home. Two days of driving up the Baja penninsula, a vehicle swap in Tijuana (with celebratory tequila!), crossing the border with an insane amount of equipment, and finally making it to the San Diego airport for the Redeye home. Cheers! 🍻
