Something people would be surprised to know about me:
My favorite song is “East Bound and Down” by Jerry Reed (Smokey & the Bandit theme)

I’m inspired by:
All the ski photographers that came before me (at least those I’ve seen since I was about 12 when I got my first subscription to Powder). Also inspired by a lot of top bike photogs (Gibson, Larnce, Hylands, etc…) Super inspired by all of the atletes I have been fortunate to work with. And always inspired by the endless smiles and fun we have in the mountains.

Best mountain culture slang word or phrase:
SEND IT!

What you’ll find on my nightstand:
A lamp that’s not plugged in, my cell phone, some magazines and NOT my alarm clock because I would turn it off in my sleep if it was that close
