Life has been a little crazy lately.

After an amazing 11 years in Madison, I’ve moved to Chicago, leaving so many close friends and endless memories of that amazing city.

My work has continued to be wild ride of new opportunities that I keep forgetting to share on social media.

And every day has been full of adventure and cherished moments with friends, new and old. Thanks to everyone who’s been a part of it.

6 Weeks in New Zealand With You ❤️

After being apart for 3 months while was in Antarctica, this trip was the perfect reunion. We backpacked up mountains in the pouring rain, swam with dolphins, and so much more. Can’t wait to share a little video of our trip soon.

Love ya, Lex ❤️

FIFA World Cup 2026 Promo - San Francisco

Last year I spent the majority of the summer traveling across North America as part of this amazing production. The team travelled to all 16 host cities and despite the long shoot days from sunrise to sunset, this was such an insanely fun and rewarding project. Can’t wait to see this footage broadcasted across the globe in 2026!
