SNOWBOARDER MAGAZINE - Senior Photographer Ͳ09/1990 to 05/2001 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 offboard activities. I also was the creator of the original 'Super Park' concept that Snowboarder magazine hosted for more than 20 years.
