Mountains, Motors and the Occasional Wipeout…

The outdoors has always been where I feel most at home — from mountains and snowstorms to coastlines and everything in between. I'm always up for an adventure — unless it involves riding a bike, because history has proven that never ends well for me.

I'm something of an adrenaline junkie at heart — from jumping out of a plane to being caught in the washing machine more times than I'd like during my never-ending attempt at being a surfer.

Action sports as a whole have my huge respect, whether I'm the one doing them or just watching from the sidelines in awe — and that respect stretches to motorsport too, which has pulled me in more than I ever expected. I'm still learning it from the ground up, but that hasn't stopped it becoming a genuine passion in its own right, running alongside the one that started it all: snowboarding, which I've been lucky enough to travel the world for, working winter seasons between Europe and New Zealand while chasing snow year round.

I have been very fortunate in life to have learnt to ski when I was just 6 years old. I have always loved the mountains but it wasn’t until I learnt to snowboard that I really caught the bug. From there on I have worked in the industry, selling snowboards and getting out on the mountain any chance I could.

I’m always on the lookout for my next adventure, whether it’s finding the next beach to catch — or attempt to catch — some waves, or hiking a 60km track with 2,200m of elevation just two months after being bed-bound in hospital.

Throughout all of my adventures, documenting and capturing these moments through photography and videography has made them all the more enjoyable and unforgettable. Whether I’m photographing breathtaking scenery or filming and creating content to share the experience, I’m usually the one holding everyone up — asking them to wait before they hit the jump so I can get in position to capture the shot.
