THE STORY SO FAR...
Born on the beaches of Perth, I was meant to be a Pilot. I didn't have a backup plan. I blame Top Gun.
So I went to Uni to study Aviation, got burned out, and decided to snowboard around the world for a little while. It was there that I discovered my true passion. Beer. But also, snowboarding. But ALSO, photography and film. I picked up a video camera and began documenting the amazing riders and lifestyle I was surrounded by.
It wasn't long before I knew what I was meant to be doing, and I haven't stopped since.
After stints in Perth, Melbourne and LA, I'm now Sydney based, chasing the creative dream.
I still snowboard though, and the beach is still my happy place.
