Growing up along the shores of Lake Huron, I've always had a passion for the water. But it was during my time surfing on the Central Coast of California that I began to observe water in a different way, noting the subtleties and appreciating its energy. After moving back to my home state of Michigan, I became immersed in the blossoming surf culture of the Great Lakes. It was here that my photography journey began, documenting surf days on the lakes.

As my techniques and vision progressed, I began to view my photography as an art. This eventually led me to creating Offshore Origins as a platform for my work. Capturing waves in the final moments of their journey, far from their creation serves as the inspiration for the name. 

I appreciate the dynamic scene of water. Each wave presents a unique canvas. Revealing incredible detail that can’t be observed in real time is what I love about photography. I hope my work provides the viewer a new perspective on the beauty of our Great Lakes.
