CURRENT MISSION

To branch out as an individual, experience as much as I can, and learn and relate from as many people as I can

ABOUT ME

I was raised in the pacific northwest, spent most of my life camping with my family and developing a passion for creative medium, and action sports. I now work as a fulltime photographer for evo.com. I value loyalty, honesty, creative innovation, and an open minded lifestyle. I love meeting new people and being able to relate with shared experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

In simple and tacky terms I truly believe the meaning of life is to give it meaning. It's up to the individual to interpret and carry that out but once you can comprehend and bring that philosophy to practice its easy to think of life as a gift.

Interests

I spend my time taking pictures, writing my own music, skateboarding, snowboarding, and camping. In my travels and everyday life, I try to approach every experience as something to learn from.

• writing
• traveling
• music
• camping
• snowboarding
• skateboarding
• sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge music fan, with a library that fills up 70% of my harddrive, throw your genres at me and I'll more than likely already like them. In the mean time here's a list of my five favorite bands (hard to list only five)
Tera Melos
Minus the bear
Aesop Rock
Led Zeppelin
Blink-182

Favorite books/book genre: I enjoy reading philosophical books. I am currently reading mans search for meaning by Victor Frankl and it's truly inspiring. Other than that I really really enjoyed reading House of Leaves, A Time to Love And A Time to Die, The Old Man and the Sea, and Kaleidoscope.

I think two movies everyone should see are: The Human Experience, and The Truman Show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending my 6th grade summer with my family traveling across the country in a jeep and later a Fleetwood RV. We went through 46 states and two countries. The people I met and how much I developed and learned through the importance of travel still inspires me today.

Traveling to Deadhorse Alaska with my family and family friends was also a humbling experience. For weeks we traveled through Alaskan wilderness and eventually traveled down the entire Dalton highway (a 414 mile gravel road built for truckers and suppliers) and ended up in Prudhoe bay wading in the arctic ocean.
