Living VANcariously was an adventure; a solo mission exploring the bizarre and beautiful locations across the U.S. via camper van, sharing my experiences through photography and stories.

Once upon a time I was a professional snowboarder, which was a dream come true and developed my taste for adventure and travel. It took me all over the world: from Lake Tahoe to Japan, Argentina, France, Australia, Slovakia and back again to sunny California where I live now. From my globetrotting I was fortunate to see many different cultures and experience many wild things. Most of my trips were directed towards snow, which to me has a serene and also menacing beautify all its own, but always left me wondering what warmer areas of the world had to offer. I wouldn’t change the path I took because it led me to my next passion—Photography. As a Professional Athlete I was the subject of countless photoshoots, which inspired me to transition to the other side of the lens and developed my career in media.
For this project I decided to combine my passion for traveling and journalism with the itch to explore my own country in all of its nooks and crannies. I ventured the Deep South all the way to the Great Plains, from the hot deserts of the Southwest to the bustling cities of the East Coast, enjoying as much as I could of the good old USA. This roadtrip rolled me over 25,000 miles in 215 days, and was one of the wildest times of my life!
