I was Born in Los Angeles California but after a few years we moved to Providence Utah. Cache Valley is a small farming community located just over an hour north of Salt Lake City and is the home of Utah State University. Growing up in this region I quickly developed a love with being outdoors and up in the mountains. My earliest hobbies were hiking and camping, and there is no better place for that than the mountains of Northern Utah. As I grew older, my hobbies became more of a passion and they took me deeper into the wilderness. I spent most of my early adult life Mountain biking, white water kayaking, wake boarding and snowmobiling. We would take countless trips every year going North to Jackson Hole to kayak the Snake River, or South to Moab to Mountain bike the countless slick-rock trails. It was during this time that I developed a very strong respect for the outdoors and I have many stories where we pushed the limits almost too far! It was also during this time that I began to dive into photography to document the crazy places we were going to as well as the crazy things we did.
