Christchurch, New Zealand
Independent filmmaker and perpetual intermediate whitewater kayaker
In my past life, I was a producer/researcher for a Los Angeles documentary production company, working on shows for the History, Discovery, Sci-Fi and National Geographic Channels. At age 34 I started kayaking. My fiancée and I ventured off to New Zealand in 2005, and we have been here ever since, kayaking when we can and, like everyone in Christchurch, wondering what form our city will take post earthquakes.
