“I
feel like I owe a big portion of my success
to John Keppler.... I mean, I'll soon
be considered a professional, and I know
there are tons of other factors that got
me to this point, but Keppler sort of
"jump started" my career. He
got me that first photo in the magazine
that got my name on the map.”
“Actually, it was about 10 photos
and 4 ads later before any other photographer
ever pointed their lens at me!! Keppler
was able to get enough photos of me that
people started to believe I could actually
surf!! Then once people thought I could
surf, I had to quickly learn how, so I
think that forced me to improve, and from
there my surfing started to take off.”
