Bio


Photography entered my life 20 years before fly fishing. I kicked off my professional career in the music industry shooting editorial portraits. From there, I started shooting weddings. Wedding Photography taught me the value of narrative and shaped my work in a way that celebrates our experiences.

I have spent the past decade fishing and photographing the trout waters in the west. In 2025, I published my first photography book. Mirage is a cultural snapshot of the fishing in my home state of Arizona.

My work has been published in Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Substream Music Press, and Fly Fish Journal, to name a few. I believe that I bring an outside approach to the world of fly fishing and my goal is to help shape the culture of the sport alongside brands and nonprofits with shared values in community, creativity, our public lands, personal expression.
