Day 3 of Breck Epic felt pretty good for me. I managed to come in second and had first in my sights till I got a flat and got passed a few miles from the finish. Day 2 was rough as I got two flats and lost 30 minutes behind first and second. I’m still third in my age category for the GC. We have three more days of racing. Hoping my tire luck turns around a little.

Fun time getting into the higher elevation today with Laura and Dan

This has been a long time coming. Laura and I have always wanted to own and operate a coffee shop and while we’re not quite there yet we did take that first step and started roasting coffee. It’s been a long time coming…. years in the making. Back and forth debating if we should buy an already established business or create one on our own. We opted for the latter.

The name of our company is O.W.L Coffee Roasters which stands for One World Linked. Today our website went live (link in bio) and we’re proud to offer 4 different speciality roasts all freshly roasted at our house in the mountains above Boulder, Colorado.

Like cooking or baking, roasting coffee is about timing, patience, and precision. Managing the heat, data, and watching and listening to the bean throughout the roast is merging science and intuition.

It’s a way for us to engage deeply with our craft, explore flavor, and deliver something truly special.

But coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s a bridge. It invites conversation, creates space for community, and helps people feel seen.

That belief became even more personal when Laura began volunteering with Meals on Wheels of Boulder County—an organization she first encountered at age 7 with her Granny. 

After stepping away from a job she held at CU for a decade, she found herself searching for purpose again. The act of showing up, delivering meals, and meaningful conversations with her clients,  reminded her just how powerful human connection is—and how many people are living without it.

This experience has inspired our mission: to roast coffee that not only tastes incredible, but also creates an opportunity to connect—whether through a shared cup with a neighbor, a thoughtful gift to a friend, or a warm moment with a stranger.

We’re proud to offer thoughtfully roasted beans—because we believe that great coffee can link one world, one story, one community at a time. Give us a follow and try out a bag of our freshly roasted coffee if you’re into that type of thing.

Fun times riding the White Rim on Friday with and It’s a good gauge to see where my fitness is after riding 100 miles in a day in March.

Sharing a few screen grabs from a really fun shoot I worked on.

Yesterday Laura finished the Colorado Trail Race which is 527 miles and 71,983 vertical feet of climbing. The trail is mostly single track with a lot of hike a bike and completely self supported. I’m very proud of her for finishing this difficult feat. As you can see she was all smiles as she finished.

Hey Thanks everyone for joining my new page. I'm going to keep this strictly film related. If you ever have any questions about how to get into this line of work or how I got into it or how a particular shot was made feel free to ask.
