After college I
continued my career of surf photography, which ultimately lead me to surf
philanthropy and I had no intention on going back to school to higher my
education. Fresh out of San Diego State University I started a non-profit
organization called Surf Resource Network to work with coastal communities in
developing nations to ensure the local people are benefiting from the presence
of surf tourism, and it has been a very rewarding experience. I have
become highly engulfed by the projects and programs we are conducting in
Robertsport, Liberia, focusing on health and education, and the small fishing
village has become a second home to me. The potential I see for this town
to improve their health, education, infrastructure, and job opportunities through
the presence of positive surf tourism really intrigues me, and I wanted to help
lead by setting a good example.
