“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.”
