What is the best thing about being a photographer? My schedule. Photography gives me the option to work and travel when and where I want, I was never a 9-5 type of person.

What is the worst thing? The amount of time and money that can go into shooting gets a little ridiculous sometimes. But, when you finally create an image that you've dreamed about for so long it makes it all worth it.

Editorial - Surfer, Mundorad, Sundance Channel, San Diego Tribune, Deep. Advertising - Volcom, Rip Curl, Oneill, SexWax, Infinity Surfboards.

Any tips you can offer to someone that want to be a photographer? There are two things I always tell people. It doesn't take the best camera gear to create amazing images, some of my all time favorite personal photographs were shot on a $100 TLR from 1955. Second, study every image you see and try to figure out the lighting, camera, lens choice, and location. It's more than pointing your camera at something and pressing the shutter button, the best photographers in the world didn't get to that point without years of hard work.

PC or Mac? MAC for life, PC's are paperweights as far as I'm concerned.

Surf photography tips? Find surfers who are willing to work with you to create images, only shoot when the light is good, and plan on living out of a suitcase for a better part of your life.

Are you a surfer? Yes, I have been surfing for 23 years. I caught my first wave in 1985 at San Onofre State Beach in San Clemente, Ca. Where is your favorite wave? My favorite wave in California will always be 1st Point Malibu. My favorite wave in the world is Snapper Rocks in Australia.

Any other sports or hobbies? There isn't much time for anything else, plus I still love cruising around with my cameras and spending time alone finding new parts of the world. Always keep your eyes open...

What do you have more of cameras or surfboards? Definitely Cameras! I have a pretty minimal surfboard quiver (2 longboards, a 7'2" single fin, and a 5'4" TwinFIn)
