I explore the human limits and big wave surfing at Mavericks, as well as the harsh conditions the everyday surfer encounters in Northern California.

I’m a San Francisco based freelance surf photographer. I’ve been published both in the US and internationally for his photography at Mavericks, as well as other surf photography around Northern California, and I was nominated five times in the Monster Paddle-In category for the Billabong XXL competition.

Born and raised in New York, I journeyed to California in the mid 1990s where I discovered my passion for surfing while living on the Central Coast. Combining a BFA in photography and my love for the ocean, I explore the human limits and big wave surfing with my work out at Mavericks, as well as the harsh conditions the everyday surfer encounters in Northern California.
