About Us
XPLORIST is a non-profit organization dedicated to reconnecting people with the wild spaces around them. We believe that exploration begins in your own backyard and extends to the vast, untamed wilderness of North America.
Our mission is to inspire curiosity, foster respect for natural environments, and cultivate a new generation of explorers. Through immersive storytelling, educational programs, and community initiatives, we showcase the breathtaking beauty and vital importance of our continent's wild places.
By highlighting accessible adventures and sharing the wonders of nature, we're working to transform passive observers into active stewards of our environment. XPLORIST envisions a future where exploration is not just about distant horizons, but about discovering the extraordinary in the everyday world around us.
Join us as we rediscover the spirit of exploration that shaped our history and will define our future.

I recently joined David Rutherford's podcast to share my journey as a nature filmmaker—from a childhood love of nature to leading conservation across North America. I spoke about how my passion for God's creation and storytelling led me to start XPLORIST, capturing and protecting wild places like the Everglades. I shared field experiences and how adventurers like Steve Irwin and Jeremy Wade inspired my work. I also discussed leading Florida’s Sagebrush Institute chapter, a role given by Braxton McCoy, aligning with my mission to safeguard natural heritage. We touched on how personal loss deepens my storytelling. Exploration stories inspire environmental protection beyond entertainment. For more, watch the full interview.
