I grew up at the beach and started surfing at 12, lucky kid. Spoke a dialect peppered with terms like ‘stoked’, ‘bitchin’ and ‘dude’. Still use dude a lot. Thought I wanted to be a writer, an ad copywriter no less. Things got in the way, like surfing and beach volleyball. The latter led me to photography classes, long story. One day, I got called to camera assist for an ad shooter. Full-time job, lasted a year, haven’t had a job since. Not that kind anyway. I jumped into my own business and haven’t looked back. The view’s better looking forward. Now I take pictures all the time, and tell stories with them. Just like a writer. Go figure. Motion? Oh yeah, I’ve done a lot of that too. Shot a short film (first time for everything) to pitch a piece of business. Got the business and then directed like 100 some TV spots. Shot on film. Don’t do that much anymore. The film part I mean. Today I need that assistant I once was, so I can find all my files at the end of the day. I guess I should tell you that I talk a lot, but I listen more. Otherwise, I’d shoot myself. Not with a camera. Contact me so I can hear what you’re up to. Let’s tell a story. Together. |
