My Story

Raised in San Diego, I joined the military at 18 in '94 and spent 20 years exploring the world as a Seabee.

I've been to 21 U.S. states, traveled across Europe and Asia, and found my wife in Thailand. After retiring in 2014, I finally started chasing the adventures I'd been collecting stories from along the way — Kenya, Georgia, Oman, England, Ukraine, and countless places in between.

Now I channel that same energy into worldly explorations, camping trips, and chasing down the perfect sunrise shot — just good stories and better photos.

What I Stand For

🌊

Respect Nature

Every place I visit, I leave better than I found it. Pack it in, pack it out.

📸

Capture It All

Great adventures deserve great documentation. Every trip is a story worth telling.

🎒

Travel Smart

The right gear makes the difference. I test everything before I trust it on a trip.
