TOUR Fall 2026
Pacific Northwest
Sept 25 - October … ?
Want to meetup?
I am looking to “build cool things with friends”.
I am a forester with a background in 3D scanning, who is now on a mission to support forestry education.
I’ve got all these cameras and drones, now lets put them to use creating high quality media for forestry education. Lets bring the forest to young people, to inspire them to take a step towards a career in forestry.

What is your pain?
No, not your joints! What is frustrating you in forestry?
Every single innovation from Ironwood has come from finding where the pain points are. The thing is though, a lot of it is localized and specific. I specialize in dreaming up solutions to problems, but I’ve got to know about them.
What sort of collaborations am I looking for?
That’s mostly driven by what YOU’RE passionate about?
There’s SO much interesting stuff going on in the woods. Here are some of my ideas:
Training tutorials
Video
3D
VR
Tech demos
LiDAR, drones, 3D gaussian splats
Workshops
Lets put tools (my tools) in the hands of young people and show them how to use them!
Species ID guide
High quality photography
3D scans
Video commentary about each species
Forest Media
Operations, silviculture, wildlife, etc etc etc
Professional interviews
3D scans of forests, equipment, etc
Company promo?
Photoshoot?
Cost?
