IT ALL STARTED WHEN...

I was a young child. My first experiences into the out were shaped heavily by my family, who raised me in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida, and cultivated in me a love for the surf and sea. As I grew older, my hunger for more of the outdoors was fed as my family traveled the nation in search of adventure. From summers in the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina to week long trips to the Midwest and West Coast, I soon became an avid hiker, mountain biker, and whitewater rafter. These experiences led to the creation of a strong foundation that have shaped my adult life.  Eventually I became white water rafting certified as well as wilderness survival certified with the Nantahala Outdoor Center, Scuba certified at Dayo Scuba, indoor rock climbing certified at X-Treme Rock Climbing Center and the newest - a surf instructor at Island Water Sports. My goal is to encourage people to travel, explore the outdoors, and to preserve this world we live in through my adventures and my photography by sharing with you some of my favorite locations to explore. One day I hope to travel the world and become an outdoor adventure guide so that I can teach my love for travel and adventure, the outdoors, and the wilderness to others.
