A native Texan, he spent his childhood playing baseball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, kickball, prison ball and sometimes Zelda or Contra if it was raining. He tried on many occasions to replace one of those sports with something cooler like surfing or skateboarding, but the gods of balance never obliged. After earning his bachelors degree at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara and a stint as a photo assistant in NYC, he returned to Austin and is carrying out his dream as a photographer. Since then, he has built relationships with leading designers and creatives in the region and has recently spent his spare time traveling to West Texas to work on his book project, Marfa Modern. If the work/life balance allows, he can be found playing a number of non-extreme sports like running, swimming, hiking, and swimming hole hunting.
