Projects range from directing The Royals (in production for 2026) to filming The Edge on WildTV and producing visual campaigns for some of Alberta's most recognized public figures and organizations.

Equally comfortable on a rugged film set, on location with a drilling crew or in an oilfield industrial setting, at a rodeo or on a working farm, or inside the chamber of the Alberta Legislature, T.J. brings creative direction, technical precision, and practical adaptability to every project. His experience spans government, private, and commercial productions. He has covered national movements and cultural events, and has produced imagery featured by outlets such as Reuters, CBC, The Western Standard, and Photohouse Magazine.

As a producer and director of photography, T.J. focuses on visual non-fiction storytelling that blends authentic, character-driven narratives with a strong sense of place. His portfolio includes photojournalism and documentary campaigns on rodeo culture, ranching and agriculture, hunting, oilfield and industry, Western Canadian politics, and expedition work throughout Western Canada and beyond.

His current focus is on building collaborative partnerships for long-form documentary, branded storytelling, and media development that highlight distinct regional voices and genuine Canadian experiences, especially stories rooted in the working landscapes of the Peace Region, Northern Alberta, and the broader West.
