I’ve spent the past few years working the maritime industry, and the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry is one of the many “boat jobs” I’ve had over those years. One of the coolest things about working on the James River is that you can see the sun rise over the river in the east and set over the…

Finding Megalodon: Coming Soon(ish)!
Here’s a trailer for my upcoming documentary “Finding Megalodon”. I’m not sure when it will be out yet, since CGI rendering takes millions of years, but in the meantime, I’ll be dropping plenty of other content. Long ago, a legendary beast rules the seas.
