MORE ABOUT ME!

Jeff’s love of nature and photography started at a very early age on a summer trip along the pacific coast highway. Jeff was completely struck by the beauty of Monterey Bay, Redwoods National Park, and so many other countless amazing places. Using his father’s inexpensive Kodak camera, he started taking photos of every beautiful thing he saw. From that moment on, he has carried a camera wherever he goes! Jeff was raised in San Diego, California but moved to Wilmington, NC in 1999, where he has raised his family while taking advantage of the beauty the southeast has to offer.
