I've hiked 7,000 miles on long-distance trails and spent 365+ days sleeping beneath every kind of sky. 

I started photographing these hikes and found that the fleeting, sublime moments-in-between made the effort worthwhile and have brought that philosophy to my photography.

I'm a Wilderness EMT and Costa Rican & Cuban - American. I studied Anthropology and Globalization Studies at Ohio State.

Seasonally located in Utah and Wyoming.

I write for evo.com and handle communications for the supernatural thru-hiking podcast, "Monarch". Past clients include Patagonia, Bedrock Sandals, Astral, CLM Advertising, Outside Inc, Field Mag, Orion Magazine, and bikepacking.com
