He was sponsored and worked at the iconic Harbour Surfboards, which led to a long-time friendship and bond with Rich, who eventually encouraged him to take up his passion in photography in 2002. His short time behind the lens quickly resulted with his first published photo in Surfer just about a year later. His dedication and keen eye, with the help from his wife/artist Enzia Farrel, Art Brewer, Larry “Flame” Moore, Tom Carey, and Warren Bolster, (so it is to no surprise) his amazing images graced the pages in Surfer, Surfing, and Transworld and many other publications. The last few years he has been working a new film “Harbour Chronicles”- a documentary to celebrate the life of Rich Harbour REST IN PEACE!!

If you want to go into business for yourself, your idea has to be unique and different – Who is your competition? How are you going to do it better?” — Laura Haftel [0:24:36]

“Snow is blissful, it's pure, it's white, it's serene, it's a siren call. But it's also very dark, it's death. The darkest white is the perfect analogy for an avalanche,” said New York Times bestselling author Eric Blehm on Episode 35 about his latest book, The Darkest White, chronicling the life and untimely passing of legendary snowboarder Craig Kelly. Widely regarded as the Michael Jordan of snowboarding, Kelly was a pioneer in this uniquely American sport, and in his book, Blehm dives deep in to Kelly's life and his pivotal role in the history of snowboarding and splitboarding. Blehm also goes into remarkable detail about the 2003 La Traviata avalanche in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, where Kelly and six other skiers lost their lives, including Truckee local Kathy Kessler.
