John Keppler has been a big part of my surfing career, as well as many of my friends and other surfers. He was actually the first surf photographer I ever met. I remember when I was only about 12 or 13 doing the N.S.S.A's and all the kids would be following him around looking at all the new shots of themselves and other surfers. Instantly I was trying to get in on the photo shoots so that maybe I could have a shot ran in the magazine, and what do you know Keppler pulled it off in a major way. He not only got pictures of me in the magazines but he somehow figured out a way to get me interviews done on me. He has also played a huge part in my brothers Josh and Nathaniel careers as well, doing exactly the same for them. Not only is Keppler a great photographer but he is a great friend, and I am really excited to see what comes out of his new website. Stay tuned......
