EDITORIALI was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri where my love for the arts started at the early age of 8 years old. I started carrying around a sketch book with me everywhere and I still always have one close by. As I got older, I developed my drawing skills through the use of many mediums, but eventually my interests turned towards photography. When I saw the inside of a photography studio for the first time, my desire to learn everything I could about becoming a photogra-pher began. I waded into an amatuer start in this field through an internship with local photographer Jeffrey Sweet. During the experience, I completely fell in love with photography, and couldn’t get enough of it. I was out taking pictures almost every day. When I began at Drury, I focused my course work on photography. It was through these courses that I discovered graphic design. After finishing Graphic Design 1, I enrolled in as many design courses as possible including Graphic Design 2 and Publication Design. Even after taking these courses, I have further developed my skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign during any spare time I have. Today, my love for the arts shows through my continuing inter-est in learning anything and everything that I can to further my artistic abilities.

They started Arbor in 1995 convinced that there was a need for brands willing to take responsibility for the impact their products have on the environment. For the Arbor Collective, time spent riding had always provided a direct understanding of what’s at stake. In their eyes, everyone needs clean air to skate, clean water to surf, and fresh snow to ride. For those who pursue boardsports, protecting the planet is about the environments we use everyday. It was becoming obvious that the boardsports industry, which relies on a healthy environment to succeed, needed to get more involved with protecting the planet.

Arbor was founded to design products around the goal of replac-ing as many environmentally harmful materials as possible, with functional, ecologically based alternatives. Their mission is to deliver performance, durability, and style in the most responsible way possible. The result must be quality and reduced environ-mental impact.

As of right now, it is not possible to deliver a totally “green” prod-uct. Reality is about taking steps towards that future. Those steps are what drive the Arbor Collective. Having said that, the people at Arbor feel that you can’t be “green” just for the sake of being green. Customers expect performance and relevance, even when choosing a sustainable alternative. So, Arbor selects only those eco-materials that allow them to deliver better looking, higher performing, and more durable products.

P O R T F O L I OPHOTOGRAPHY

I got my first camera during my freshman year in high school, it was a Canon Rebel XtI with a 18 - 55mm Canon lens. Immediately, I fell in love with it. I read the camera manual cover to cover, and researched tutorials on how to shoot with a fully manual camera. It wasn't long before I could quickly move through the functions of my camera with ease. I had always loved nature, the outdoors, and going hiking, but now that I had a camera I had even more of a reason to go outside. At first, I was taking pictures of everything, but with the tutoring of photographer Jef-frey Sweet, I soon developed an eye for interesting photographs. Since then, I have had the luxury to travel to and explore some interesting places, including Chicago and Nicaragua. The photographs shown here are not neccessarily chosen because they are my best artistically, but because they are my favorite for the memories they capture.
