I Live in Venice Beach, California with my beautiful and amazing wife, daughter and Black Lab. I consider Venice to be one of the cultural centers of the world. For decades it has been ground zero for board culture, the fitness revolution, multiculturalism  and a hub of vital surging human energies and expression. I like that. I hope my photography captures and expresses some of that same energy of redemptive transformation at any moment (if you work for it) and a unique sacred identity.

I’m also a working, cultural anthropologist providing leadership development to local LA organizations like Google, Space X and Universal Pictures where I support them transforming their teams into tribes. I’m also a lecturer at USC Marshall and sit on numerous high performance boards at Red Bull North America.

I love adventure sports of all kinds and have been a mountaineer, climber, martial artist. I’d love to come capture YOUR adventure!
