Biography

From an early age, growing up in Colorado to Polish and Colombian immigrant parents, I learned to have a natural appreciation for the outdoors and the world at large. This upbringing led me down a path to playing in a soccer school internationally in Poland to then navigating the US, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Brazil by bicycle. Eventually, this disciplined approach to exploration resulted in running multiple 100+ mile ultras through the mountains and exploring more of my Latin-American roots by bike. My goal has always been to deeply connect with the land, people, and cultures that make each of these places unique and to share what I learn along the way.

My mission is to change broken, misinformed narratives about underrepresented communities in Latin America, the US, and beyond. This manifests through visual storytelling where I work as a photographer and director alongside other talent, athletes, and journalists. Professionally, I’ve shot for The New York Times, Insider, UltraRunning Magazine, and the Bikepacking Journal. As an endurance athlete, I’ve been featured in National Geographic Travel, Patagonia, and Rab Equipment.
