Surfer & Photographer. Residing in Solana Beach, California.

Hello and thank you for checking out my work. My surfing story began 10+ years ago when I moved to San Diego and surfing became a part of my daily life. My photography journey began in 2020 when I spent two weeks in quarantine with covid. Those two weeks proved to be pivotal. The only silver lining of having to separate from my family and work during that time was the opportunity to reflect on what direction I wanted my life to continue on in. I passed the time researching cameras and photography and it quickly became clear that I could combine two of the most creative forms of expression there are: Surfing and Photography. I immediately picked up a camera and have enjoyed every moment of documenting surfers and water in action ever since.

The art of both capturing and surfing a wave encompasses the final journey of water and energy coming together. But that energy does not stop once the wave reaches the shore. My photography aims to capture that energy allowing the viewer to surf the wave well after it has crashed.

Enjoy.
