After experiencing the beauty, the rush of the hunt, and the sheer magnitude of the ocean, I knew I was addicted. Having been born and raised in Wall Township, New Jersey, I ran my way into the University of Kentucky with a full scholarship. I became an All-American and Olympic Trial qualifier, all while studying Kinesiology and Exercise Science. Running had been my passion, but I always felt my heart was someplace else. Moving to Juno Beach, FL was life changing. I was fishing the beach one day with no luck, and I came across this guy, snorkeling around with a spear gun. As I continued to watch, he emerged from the water with a bag full of fish. After I enthusiastically envied his haul, Jeff and I quickly became friends, and he was the one who taught how to spearfish. Ironically, 7 years later, he took my Level 1 Freediving class, where he passed with flying colors. As I became more involved with freediving and spearfishing, I was compelled to be able to share my wonderful experiences with friends and family. With that, I took up photography, and what started as a hobby, is now a big passion of mine. Companies who have featured my work include, Headhunter, Extreme Fishing Adventures, Riffe International, Sea Stinger, Spearing Magazine, Koah, Ascent Marketing Services, and Reef Runner Gear. I hope through my photography, I can allow those to enjoy places only few have gone. With that said, as we continue to explore the vast mysteries of the ocean, and the popularity of spearfishing persists; safety is paramount.
