A journey that

led me home.

From chasing waterfalls to sharing the stories that connect us.

It started with

waterfalls.

In 2016, I began exploring waterfalls across the Northwest. Along the way, I fell in love with the small towns and stories I found between the trails.

A curiosity

about Spokane.

Photographing Riverfront Park for Spokane Parks & Recreation sparked an interest in it’s history. A chance meeting with a landscape architect changed everything.

  1. 2016

    Photography led me to waterfalls, small towns, and the stories behind the places I visited.

  2. 2020

    I planned a YouTube series to share those stories, but COVID put the idea on hold.

  3. 2024

    A spontaneous reel at the U.S. Pavilion during Expo ’74’s 50th anniversary started Spokane Storytime.

  4. 2027

    Next chapter: a planned community nonprofit connecting local stories, learning, and the places around us.

Stories that found a

Community.

As the videos reached more people, viewers shared how the stories changed the way they saw Spokane. Teachers told me their students enjoyed the videos and that they helped spark a new interest in our history.

So what’s next?

A new way to connect

with local history.

In 2026, conversations with local nonprofits led to a partnership with Spokane Conservation District and Upper Columbia RC&D. Together, we began developing an outdoor field trip program that helps young people learn local history, connect with their community, and take pride in the place they call home.

A connection that lasts.

The hope is to inspire generation after generation to care for this place and take part in its future.
