I’m a 32 year old guy originally from East Texas. I am currently living in Mexico City where I’ve lived a total of 3.5 years (2017-2019 and 2022-present). I work in the photography and videography industry. I also design websites. In the past I worked as a commercial fisherman for salmon in Alaska for 6 seasons(2013-2017 & 2019). I love it there and still travel back when I can. I lived in Hawaii for 2 years most recently (2020-2022) where I established myself as a wedding photographer & videographer. I still travel back every couple of months to work. I graduated from university with an advertising & public relations degree in 2015. I’m super familiar with the United States as a whole having traveled to all 50 states, and I’m slowly but surely on my way to visiting all 31 Mexican states.

Interests

Getting familiar with the cultures of others, photography, coffee or a good beer, a wide array of music and, of course, globe-trotting. I'm a tennis fanatic. I love watching the ATP & WTA tour tournaments and playing when I have someone to hit with. I have recently gotten into biking, and I thoroughly enjoy analog photography (35mm) & videography (super 8 film).
