It all started for me when I was 9 years old, shortly after the 1989 Loam Prieta earthquake. On the sidelines of a Cabrillo College football game, being played at Aptos High, due to damage to Cabrillo’s stadium suffer in the earthquake, that’s where I caught the bug of sports photography, and that is when I took my first published photo, a Seahawks player returning an interception for a touchdown. On a night where my dad gave me an extra camera to roam the sidelines and shoot alongside for one the first times at a game, it was where I realized I loved doing this. It was more luck than anything else that got me that shot, but it made me want to shoot more, especially football.
