Hey Chasers! Last year we had the privilege of speaking at our home town of Thunder Bay for the first annual ThunderCon and we’re back again this year! Having grown up in Thunder Bay where my geekdom came alive to late nights watching Star Trek and stargazing with my grandfather at lake Shebandowan, I am so excited about this convention. …
Happy Star Trek 50th Anniversary
Hey Chasers! Yesterday marked Star Trek’s 50th birthday! September 8th 1966 saw the first episode of Trek as we know it now with Kirk, Spock…and Bones…though he took that day off. Star Trek has been an enormous inspiration in my life. Trek was what first brought my heart and mind to the stars. Some of my earliest memories are of …
We’re on StarTrek.com!
In a stellar surprise today, my friend Jenn called into my office saying “Did you know Chasing Atlantis is on the StarTrek.com website today!?” It took me a moment to realize what I was seeing.

Boldly Going…to Vegas!!
Hey Chasers! This past November, we shot an awesome interview with Rod Roddenberry. During the interview he asked if we’d had ever been to the Las Vegas Star Trek convention. Truth is we never have. Rod suggested we come down to experience the con (Khan) and we thought it would also be an incredible opportunity to meet with some of …
Epic Close to 2014! And Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Chasers! The last few months have been absolutely amazing as we have headed into closing our primary videography for Chasing Atlantis. In October, we shot an amazing interview with Star Trek’s Rod Roddenberry, and more recently, through November and December, we “caught” Atlantis in her new home at the Kennedy Space Center as well as witnessed the historic …
Rod Roddenberry: New Worlds, New Families, New Homes
As Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry and I talked about Star Trek in the living room of his home, both a sense of excitement and a question were on my mind. I was excited as it was difficult to believe I was sitting in the house of the caretaker of the Star Trek legacy. Like space itself, a fictional universe, such as …
