After moving across the country, I had lost myself a bit, along with my love for surfing. Adjusting to a new culture was difficult, but with that adjustment came a vision in which I saw surfing. It was so much more than paddling out and catching a couple. The lifestyle, the passion, the love for nature. This way of life opened my eyes to how beautiful this sport truly is, and how everyone in the community is a family. Discovering this side of California revived my adoration for not only surfing, but for photography. I would sit at Lowers day after day, taking photos of these legends hoping someone would notice my work. Eventually it paid off. I landed publications of my work for Channel Islands, Ripcurl, and shot for a lot of their team riders on a weekly bases. I became a part of a community I had looked inward on for so long, and finally felt at home.
