Born and raised in South Carolina, “Hop”, as he is known by everyone that knows him, from a very young age, was drawn to spending as much time as possible outdoors. A “recovering whitewater addict” and “rock and ice rat," Hop now spends his time holding his camera in the wild instead of a paddle or climbing tool. Having worked for many years to protect South Carolina’s water quality, the beauty of his home state’s dwindling wild areas has become a real passion of his. His passion for these unspoiled areas is infectious and comes through in his photographs which now hang in many homes, offices and shops around the country.
