activities. I also was the creator of the original 'Super Park' concept that Snowboarder magazine hosted for more than 20

Snowboarder Magazine - Southern California
For more than a decade I was a senior photographer with Snowboarder Magazine. As part of the first
generation of senior shooters to work with Snowboarder, my photo work helped usher in a new era in Snowboarding. During this time I was fortunate to have my images featured on more than a dozen
Magazine covers and literally hundreds of pages within the mag.
My job consisted of taking editorial projects from concept to completion for publication. Some of the features I brought to the magazine included "Alternative environments", an artistic presentation featuring
various top pros performing their favorite off-board activities.
I also was the creator of the original 'Super Park' concept that Snowboarder magazine continues to do
each year, the idea was initially meant as a showcase of "the very best, riding the very best terrain possible". Since then, the annual event has become an institution in the Snowboarding industry.
I remain in contact with the people at Snowboarder and can provide references.
