Kelp and Fern

Stories From The Trail For The Trail

I use my passion for trail running and film-making to showcase our deep connection to the natural world, creating documentaries that inspire both adventure and a commitment to preserving the environments we love to run through.

Four Pillars or Kelp and Fern

Everything I do through Kelp and Fern comes back to three things: putting nature at the center of the story, staying independent from commercial interests, and taking real action to protect trails through For The Trail.

Nature-First Storytelling

Trail running is a sport and hobby that is based on nature, the industry has forgotten that. We move through nature and landscapes and my focus is to be more trail.

Independent Film-Maker

No sponsors, self-funded documentaries that aren't beholden to corporate interests who dictate how long a documentary is, what should be featured and how it should look. This allows me to showcase epic feats of endurance and nature by giving them time to breath.

Focusing On People Like You

I document non-professionals, newcomers, older athletes, obscure races, and people attempting personal challenges, the vast majority of trail runners who get ignored by mainstream media.

Environmental Action (For The Trail)

For The Trail is an environmental project which I create resources and videos to show how we can do more For The Trail and ask less of the natural world.
