Summary

I am a recent graduate from the University of Santa Cruz, California. I've traveled extensively throughout the world surfing some of the best breaks, from Indonesia to Hawaii and beyond. I've gained a lot of experience through self-teaching and also at UCSC in film and video. I've taken those skills into the workforce and my own creative endeavors. I have a lot of experience working with people and younger kids. I'm patient and eager to share with others the soul of surfing.
