Grateful for a life on snow, and the journey it inspired. I had the incredible opportunity to spend over a two decades traveling the world as a professional snowboarder, an experience that shaped not only my life but also my creative vision. As a longtime member of the British Snowboard Team, I rode across continents, competed at the highest level, and collaborated with some of the most respected brands in the industry. Starting as a UK Regional Rider, I worked my way up to Global Pro Team status with companies like Lamar Snowboards, Monster Energy, Drop, Electric, Santa Cruz, and CLWR, among many others. The sport taught me discipline, balance, flow and perhaps most importantly, how to see the world through a unique lens. After retiring from competition, I transitioned into coaching first with the prestigious Mammoth Mountain Snowboard Team, then privately mentoring rising talent for several seasons. I closed that chapter as an ambassador for iconic brands such as Burton, POC, D__b and IKON Pass. Those years laid the foundation for the work I do now in photography, directing, and production - bringing the same passion, energy, and commitment to storytelling that snowboarding once demanded. Forever grateful for the ride. 🙏🏽
