AWARDS
I'm pleased to announce that I am a Gold Medal Winner in the 2017 Ocean Geographic Pictures of The Year with my image "Sharky Sunset"
SHARKS
Sharks are my favorite subject to photograph! Millions of sharks are killed uneccessarily each year, decimating shark populations. I hope my images will help advocate for their conservation.
I was the 1st place winner of the 2017 ocean geographic pictures of the year in the portrait category:
I AM THE GOLD MEDAL WINNER FOR the 2016 WORLD SHOOTOUT IN THE NATIONAL TEAM CATEGORY AND A SILVER MEDALIST IN THE SHARKS CATEGORY!
- I WAS AWARDED 1st PLACE IN THE UNDERWATER CATEGORY OF THE 2018 BIG PICTURE: NATURAL WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION:
Growing up in Southern California, the ocean has always been a large part of my life. Since 2004, I have traveled across the globe, diving in some of the most remote parts of the world. With my many dive travels, I have developed a true passion and appreciation for marine organisms. I believe underwater photographers help employ constructive change for our deteriorating seas through the use of striking images. With my pictures, I hope to increase the awareness of our fragile marine ecosystems and encourage others to help protect our oceans.

CORAL LANDSCAPES
Beautiful coral reefs such as this, which support diverse marine organisms, are currently under many threats from human activity around the world and need more protection.
