Gavin got his start on The O.C., worked on Mad Men, and acted as well as crewed in those early years, earning his SAG card on the lacrosse feature A Warrior's Heart and working alongside cinematographer Dean Cundey. He went on to produce Whale Wars from the decks of Sea Shepherd ships in Antarctic waters, and run Eco-Warriors: Operation Driftnet as executive producer and showrunner for Discovery. As his family grew, he moved from field work to staff roles: marketing titles at Amazon Studios that won two Clio Awards and an ADC Award, New Shepard missions at Blue Origin, and content at SpaceX, where he reinvented the Starlink broadcast format and the broadcast telemetry UI, and his submission of Starlink for an Engineering Emmy ended with Starlink receiving one in 2026. He now leads content at Zipline, is building the NarrativeOS app, is redeveloping WIFT as a pipeline for women in film, records bilingual music as Hav, and writes and builds in public from Santa Barbara.
