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

Fort Point is very fickle, but when it's big and the intervals are right, the outside reefs can get double to triple overhead.

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.
