In Iceland, I just kind of figured out what my purpose in the world was, which was conservation filmmaking. Working for a company whose mission is closely aligned with my own is a reward in and of itself. Having the opportunity to inspire kids by helping show them the beauty of the world we get to call home is another honor that I would call success.”
