Even though I’m very extroverted and know a lot of people. I am very private and introverted with my personal life, and have struggled just like everyone else has at some point. Life is a series of ebbs and flows, just like in the ocean.

Is like any other day of the week! I love what I do, so it doesn’t feel like its work. So I just go at it 6 to 7 days a week! On the field capturing surfing memories or back behind a computer putting together a digital masterpiece!

I wanted to be a number of things. When I was really little I wanted to be superman, batman, and a ware wolf. As I grew older I wanted to be a pro surfer, and a lawyer.

People never think about all the backend work we do after we go out and capture their surfing adventure! Countless hours behind a computer screen to bring your memories to the screen every night, on top of all the other work you do as a business owner and photographer.

I love surfing with my whole heart, soul, and mind. Being a business owner in the surfing industry is a dream come true. It’s hard to pinpoint one specific thing about it all that I love more than anything else. But if I had to choose, it would be inspiring the young children to surf. And watching them grow and flourish into adult surfers themselves, living a positive and fulfilling life.

I have gone from just another surfer guy to a well respected individual in the surfing community. Befriending our local Senators. Running and helping charities start-up, like “Surfing The Gap” which helps disadvantaged children get to go surf. I’ve even started working with a handful of surfing competitions from Florida to Puerto Rico, broadcasting live to all our fans online.
