Salt water and coffee…

Sometimes it’s bright and sunny…sometimes dark and stormy. Whatever the weather, any time on the beach is better than no time on the beach.

If you haven’t seen this yet...pretty cool to be a part of the Mint Mobile marketing campaign:) "Just $15 a month for premium wireless;)"

Thanks to everyone that has reshared and reached out! So many good questions! Here's some answers:

Was that you on the mint mobile commercial? Yes
Do you meet Ryan Reynolds? Yes, we shot for about 20 minutes
What's he like? He's cool. Professional and chill
Did you get to pick your outfit? No, this was one of 3
Where did you shoot it? LA? Nope, a really cool studio in Brooklyn
Do I use mint mobile? Not yet😊
Did you get to keep the hat? No🤠
How'd they find you? First email, then phone. I guess they googled fast talking auctioneer in New York. The casting agency called a few other fellow auctioneers and they directed them to me. (Thanks to whoever did! Good karma coming your way!)👍
Will I do another commercial? Absolutely!
And to answer your question Ryan Reynolds ...I drink local lite roast drip most days, sometimes a black americano and I love me some nitro cold brew! I had at least 3 or 4 cups before we shot that☕️😎
Has Ryan ever been to an auction before? Nope, I'm his first Auctioneer and you never forget your first😉

Sometimes watching the sunrise from a different beach can bring another perspective. First time on and trying to catch as many rays and waves as possible.

04/08/2022

Dreams do come true! Finally got to shoot at in the complex! This place is an absolute laboratory for perfecting drop ins, barrels, big slashes and getting as many waves in 2 hours as I catch in a month. Thanks to for having me shoot video of his waves (edit coming soon) and gave me a chance to shoot some pics. Not the most photogenic light, but I made a little lemonade.  Can't wait to get in the water to snap some shots. Thanks to and the for making dreams a reality!

Golden mornings. We often miss what the real treasure that life offers us. A smile, a butterfly, a flower peaking through a sidewalk, a golden curl...placed just right before you. Today...keep your eyes out for that treasure.

Sometimes it's the little ripples that make the biggest impact. Starting today, I've chose to be aware and purposeful of what ripples I'm making in my life. Today, I've decided to face fear and take the hard route. I've decided to dive in, paddle my hardest and catch the wave of my life. It's always darkest before the dawn...today is no different.

You never know unless you go... Even then, everything can change in a moments notice. I almost packed it in yesterday after a very beautiful sunrise, after seeing these sun rays...I had to jump back in. So glad I did... Summer Morning Series #1

These fins. These pieces of rubber. The extension of my body. My propelent in the water. Live saver and position maker. These fins. There are many like them but these are mine and helped make these photos happen. Swipe left...

The bridge to the week ahead. We know where we want to go, we hope what is on the other side is good, the mystery in the future is what keeps us moving forward.
Have a great week everyone!

Watching the sun drop over the horizon from the lineup is my happy place. Taking a second to look around and absorb the very special energy that comes from the transition of night to day. The sky shows all of its color, just as it turns dark. The water reflects and then absorbs the vibrance all turning to a dark shade of blue.

Perception of reality...is this what you see or can you see what it really is? At close inspection you may see a singular wave cresting in the fading light or at afar do you see a mountain top or desert plateu...or maybe something else?

Natural Beauty. Mother Nature continues to break my brain at the creations that I get to capture. Colors, lines, movement, calm and chaos one could never create with our simple imaginations.
