I have this wild idea that there is a ridiculous amount of beauty in the world and the more we exercise the muscle of recognizing it, calling it out, and making it ourselves, the easier it becomes to see. I have a passion for the preservation and restoration of our planet and its inhabitants. I’m a husband to an eternally-patient wife, father to two of the most personality-filled daughters, friend to those who can love life, and passionate devourer of sushi.
I grew up where the summers stuck on your skin like honey and lemonade.
I grew up in a valley surrounded by the giants of nature and beauty of silence.
I am a professional Los Angeles-based freelance outdoor photographer, brand ambassador, and visual storyteller.
