ONCE UPON A TIME…

There was a boy named Blake, who lived in a forest, filled with curiosity and a voracious desire to learn. He was raised to confidently embrace his true self, which empowered him to explore, question and create without hesitation.

NATURE WAS HIS MUSE

Surrounded by the wonder of the Pacific Northwest, he drew inspiration from its beauty and unpredictability. Born to parents who taught him that anything was possible, his imagination ran wild.

AND HIS SPARK WAS IGNITED

The first book his parents gave him was about the seven wonders of the world. Seeing those marvels of human creativity, he was hooked. He fed his mind with ancient wisdom, history, symbolism, storytelling and philosophies from around the world.

HE LEAPT TOWARD A DREAM

Drawn by an idea he and his closest friends conceived, he left college and moved to Arizona to start his first company, Creativ. They set out to build front row seats for a new renaissance of creativity unfolding around the world.

IT TOOK HIM AROUND THE WORLD

They built an early social media platform and a magazine sold worldwide in print and digital, at Barnes & Noble, Borders and Chapters. By 2013, Creativ had more than a million followers, in the top 1% of all Facebook pages, with a community in 160 countries. His journey took him into rooms with creative pioneers like Richard Branson, Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk.

It was perfect, until it wasn't.

THEN, THE IDEA DIED

Despite the love of the community, the revenue wasn't enough to keep the idea alive. In the final hours, he sat with the ghost of their dream, defeated and alone.

BUT, THE DREAM SURVIVED

In 2015, refusing to abandon creators, he and his old partner Brad founded Evercast. With support from legendary film editor Roger Barton, Evercast transformed remote creative collaboration and kept Hollywood working through the pandemic. In 2020, it won an Engineering Emmy.

HE WAS JUST GETTING STARTED

After stepping back from running Evercast in 2018, he turned to amplifying the gifts and stories of extraordinary people. With explorer Colin O'Brady, that meant ten world records, a New York Times bestseller, a book with Simon & Schuster, a Discovery documentary and a Netflix docuseries now in post-production.

THEN, THE WORLD CAME KNOCKING

Word spread. Founders, athletes, artists and public figures sought him out to turn their ideas into stories powerful enough to move people. He shaped their books, keynotes, brands and the moments that defined them, and stood beside them when the spotlight turned harsh.

THEN, THE GATES OPENED

For most of his life, every idea had a gatekeeper: engineers to hire, budgets to raise, permission to ask for. Then the frontier AI labs opened the gates.

Now he builds himself what once took a team and a funding round, from a live wildfire tool to research agents that work like a team of analysts. The only limit left is his imagination.

NOW, NOTHING STANDS BETWEEN AN IDEA AND THE WORLD

Now he wants to help the world see what this moment makes possible, in plain, human terms, so everyone can feel the gates opening too. The best part of the story is just getting started.

Let's talk

At home, he's married to the love of his life, Danielle, chief playmate and caretaker to Indy, their mini golden retriever, and happiest hunting and polishing rocks and minerals from the Oregon high desert.
