THE PERSON BEHIND THE FILES

Hey, I’m Ralph.

Single dad. Marine Corps veteran. Filmmaker. And the guy who can’t leave a strange story alone.

After 25 years in finance, I took a chance on the stories I actually wanted to tell. Now it’s me, a laptop, and a lot of late nights after dad duty.

If you’ve ever stayed up too late chasing one strange detail, we’ll probably get along.
