I was born in the Eastern Townships, Quebec, Canada. When I was only a few weeks old, my father took me fishing with him on a boat. At the age of 3, I was fishing like a big boy. A little later, at the age of 12, I started hunting. That's when it all started. With my friends, we started filming our hunts. I absolutely wanted to film each of our adventures.
This passion for filming my outdoor activities grew exponentially. Respect for the environment and the game I hunt, is at the heart of my concerns, and I think that's what motivated me so much. I wanted to change the vision that people have towards hunters/fishermen.
After a few years, I decided to film other things than hunting and fishing adventures, like our snowmobile trips, spearfishing journey and different outdoor activities. Now I specialize myself in telling stories about the great outdoors. Whether it's hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, diving, skiing, hiking or anything that takes place on the countryside, I'm ready to create!
I first found Ramon through one of his viral posts on instagram. I thought his rod-making work was really unique. After contacting him to find out more about him, I discovered that his background was quite impressive. After a lot of thought and visualization, I decided to go and join him in the Netherlands to see for myself. And it was so worth it! It's a project that's close to my heart, because of its story, its morals and the people I've met.
