Meet the Wandered Stories team
Growing up, movies were more than entertainment—they were windows into emotion, connection, and the human experience. That love for storytelling sparked my creative journey. In college, I picked up a camera for the first time. What started as documenting life became a passion for capturing raw, unscripted moments—preserving the beauty of the world as I saw it. Over time, that passion grew into a deeper purpose: to create meaningful work that connects people to their stories and to each other. That vision led me to entrepreneurship and, eventually, to building Wandered Stories—a team of visual storytellers dedicated to documenting love in its most authentic form.

Outside of filmmaking, I’m passionate about fitness, personal growth, and living with intention. Whether I’m training for a marathon, building a business, or deep in self-reflection, I’m always chasing growth and meaning.
I document much of that journey on my YouTube channel—a visual journal of the human experience—where I share life lessons, creative struggles, and everything in between. At my core, I’m a deep thinker driven by connection and a desire to live a story worth telling.

When I was 8 years old I got my first digital camera and I started making home movies, as well as taught myself how to edit on the family computer. While I was in college majoring in film production, I found my love for wedding filmmaking. What I love most about wedding filmmaking is getting to capture such a beautiful and special day for a couple, so that they can relive the amazing moments for the rest of their lives!

Something most people don’t know about me is that I performed in an acrobatic circus for 5 years! My favorite things to do were riding unicycles, flipping off of teeterboards and performing aerial pole. And yes! I can still ride a unicycle! Recently I have taken up a love for rock climbing and spend as much time as I can outdoors.

My late grandfather was a photographer in Vietnam and had a studio, but he lost it in the war. When he moved here, he picked it up again and introduced me to photography at a pretty young age. When I was 10, I bought myself a Nikon Coolpix with money I’d saved. My love for photography blossomed from there.

Sports have always been a big part of my life. I’ve played basketball since seventh grade and still play regularly. I’m also into fitness, snowboarding, and tennis. I never miss a Seahawks game and closely follow the NBA—still waiting on the Sonics to return. Sports have always been a way to connect with friends, so they’ll always feel like a love language.

It all started on my 7th birthday. I got my first point-and-shoot camera, and trust me when I say I photographed everything.

I never wanted to forget how I felt in those happy moments and so began my love for documenting life.
