I was born in Oregon and raised in southern Oregon. In grade school I started shooting photography. I would use my sisters as subjects. Winning awards in school for my Photo's. I also started skateboarding about the same time.Then emery's moved to Canada (Prince George) for a year then down to San Diego for Jr High and freshman year of high school years. Where I really got into skateboarding. I would skate everyday. Knob hill school, San Marcos high, San Pasqual high school, Mike Mc Gills skate park, Oside , etc. I also got into surfing. Then we moved back to C.J. I was sooo mad. I couldn't skate!!! There were only a few kids that Skated. In the winter they would go snowboarding. This is where i found one of my favorite things to do. I would go hike the clear cuts and build jumps of the stumps.I spent the rest of my high school years skating in my barn and the streets of Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland I would do photography with my Dad, and snowboarding in the winter. After high school I traveled with my snowboard or Skate board always in hand. I got some sponsors like Soup Kitchen, Barfoot and did some filming and a few contests in CO, and Tahoe. placed 2nd in a boarder cross in Telluride. Then up to SF for a few years, was bombing all the hills and skating all the spots in SF. I ended getting sponsorship from Real Skateboards, Spitfire wheals and Independent. Then finely moved to Mission Beach in 98. I was surfing all the beaches. I got sponsorship from TDK, PRIDE,and FCS. Snowboarding bear and skating all over SD and going to the Art Institute of San Diego. I got kinda got board of surfing and decided to get back into snowboarding. I did a trip up the west coast with Rockstar energy drink and lib teck. Then I moved to Utah for the winter. I ended up spending 6 winters out there. Love Utah! I broke my back 06 rehabbed in Mission Beach.I went back and rode for a few more winters.This is when I started getting back into photography. I was director of operations at Runway Magazine LA. and this is where I started my Photography career and Model management Co. If you want to know more just ask. Every day is a new day.
