Created monthly features for the world's best ATV and UTV magazine. I traveled internationally to many locations monthly. I produced content from the Amazon, The World's Most Dangerous Road, A 10 day adventure down the coast of South Africa and many other exotic locations. It wasn't always easy. While on assignment I was shot at, held at gunpoint and emergency evacuated on a rusty airplane.

Quokka was founded to cover the 1997-1998 Whitbread Round the World yacht race. After the race, they aimed to become the premiere digital sports media company. I helped produce, design and manage many of their sites including NBC's Coverage for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney (as well as shooting some Olympic athletes for the sites content), live webcast from Mt Everest, Ford Sport Trac, the Eco-Challenge website with Mark Burnett and many others. After Quokka bought MountainZone.com I took the reigns and resigned the site. Under the MountainZone domain I produced and photographed for the Van's Triple Crown series of Snowboarding, the X Games and more.Quokka redefined the internet. We created the first live tracking of athletes, the tweet and new ways of video streaming.
