I was born and raised in North Long Beach California. For as long as I can remember, I have been completely in love with the ocean and everything about it. I’ve always been drawn to nature, the outdoors and, more specifically, the ocean. My dad had cameras around when I was a kid, so you could say that my interest in photography has always been inside of me. My sophomore year in high school, I was fortunate enough to take my first photography course. Life got in the way, though, and I didn’t do much about it. I started taking water shots a few years ago with good friend of mine, and since then my passion for photography in the water has grown into an endeavor that I’m super passionate about. I’m super grateful to be able to do it each and every day. My favorite part about photography is not only being in the moment but being in that moment with great, like-minded friends, and being able to capture those moments that will last forever.
