I have had my hands on a camera since the age of 13. Born and bred on the east coast, I quickly moved west to pursue my passion of photography. After completing a Bachelors degree from Brooks Institute of Photography, I freelanced while interning at Surfing Magazine. From there, I ventured off to put my education to use working for various studios. There I photographed for various companies bringing catalogs to life. More recently you can find me hiding in Fiji shooting for Tavarua Island Resort. When not in the South Pacific, I reside in Santa Barbara, CA where I am constantly chasing the next photograph. I have lived near the sea my entire life, which directly influenced my love for creating imagery. I found that the moment I step out of my comfort zone, is when I become inspired. My passion for exploring new locations and cultures has sent me traveling all over California, Mexico, Central America, Hawaii, Fiji, South Africa and Indonesia.
