This shoot was for the Orvis Spring 22' fly fishing line. Spencer of Forged Film and I set out to Austin, Texas, to work with All Water Guides group. Inspired by a "guides' day off," we took a road trip to the Devils River on an unforgettable adventure that we will never forget.

Andy and Nicky Mill are true legends when it comes to tarpon fishing, and I've had the pleasure of getting to know them over the past three years in the Florida Keys. I can't even describe how much I've learned from them. They've been incredibly helpful and have taught me so much about the sport. Some of my all-time favorite fishing photos have been taken with this these guys.

I started working with Duck Camp shortly after they ventured into fishing. It has been a great relationship and we have collaborated all over the Southeast. Many of my images are still currently used by the company.

A surreal trip to Iceland. When I had the opportunity to link up with legends like Chris Burkard and Heidar Logi and mix in killer gear from Skwala, I jumped at the chance. We took a road trip to the Westfjords that ended up being a trip of a lifetime. The Skwala gear excelled in every condition as we made our way through Iceland.

Will Manning of Heartwood Forge was kind enough to carve time from a busy day. I have admired his work for years and was excited to get in the shop with him. These and some of my favorite images to date.

I teamed up with Orvis for the launch of their Blackout 8wt rod. I linked up with friends and guides in the Boone, North Carolina area and it turned out to be a great day of smallmouth fishing.

Jamie Bowles of Double Haul Studios is a master of his craft. We linked up after working together with Wesley Hodges and I knew we had to get some images of his shop. He carves replicas with wood that are simply incredible. I will let the imagery speak for itself.

I’ve worked with Wes for two years on social media management, photo shoots and company shoots. Wes is building a small empire in Virginia that will be something else in a few years. He is a master of smallmouth and bird hunting in the VA/WV areas.

More work for the Mil House group in their backyard. Elk bugles, high altitude trout fishing and everything in-between, these guys are masters of their craft.

This job was for Traeger Grills. They were highlighting Journey South Outfitters who built a trailer with six Traegers to help feed those in need after the hurricanes hit. This was to be featured in the Traeger 2.0 book. The book has not gone to print.

Oak & Oscar is a small watch company out of Chicago. Owner, Chase Fancher, and I have built a friendship that took me to the Driftless area. This series highlights some of his watch owners who wanted to experience the outdoors, fishing and coffee. It was a hell of a weekend.

“Hey dude, want to go on a roadtrip to catch browns on hoppers?“ A message from the one and only Dave Grossmann from OG SCOF. We jumped in his truck and drove to Cotter, Arkansas. Hoppers, big browns, laughs and a road trip I’ll never forget. The story was published in the Fly Fish Journal.

Hopkins, Belize is a special place. I’ve spent a lot of time down there building lasting relationships with local fish guides. I have shot for numerous companies in this area that have been published, used for social and blogs. Here are a few of my favorite images.

I collaborated with Edgar Diaz from Sightline Provisions on a fun piece. This was one of the last swatches of Cone Mill denim.

Chris Barclay and I set out on a two week journey to Colorado. We traveled 1500 miles around the state and had an incredible time. A few images were featured by companies from this trip but was 99% of the adventure was for fun. I love how some of the images turned out and hope we can do this again later in life.

I started working with the Hardy in partnership with Andy and Nicky Mill. Since then I’ve worked on projects with them from Iceland, the Florida Keys, and Virginia. Here are a few of my favorites.
