SHOCKED but so damn happy!! One of my brothers from SEAL Team 4 told me he’s putting in the first (and maybe the last) bid as it starts—he wants it bad. Makes my heart full knowing this will help raise funds for .

I finished just in time of a late 11:30 last night for today’s annual golf tournament

Couple more photos I forgot that I took during my time at the SEAL teams. This was during SITX before we left for our deployment.

Only a couple days to get this finished in time. Hope I pull it off!

Making progress… one week to finish this 😜🥴 Fun fact: the photo in the top left is SO1 Kevin Ebbert—i took during our work-ups before deployment. Fitting, since this painting is for the SO1 Kevin Ebbert Foundation’s Golf Tournament Raffle. He had to be part of it.

Welp… I did it to myself again.
Just realized I need to create a painting for this year’s Kevin Ebbert Foundation Annual Golf Tournament — and the clock is ticking.

I’ve decided to create a Navy SEAL-themed piece to be raffled off at the event.
No progress peeks this time… but now I’m wondering — should I show you the finished piece before the raffle, or keep it a surprise until the big day?

A little about Kevin, for those who don’t know:
SO1 Kevin Ebbert was killed in action on November 24, 2012, during his second deployment to Afghanistan with SEAL Team 4. While leading a group of men, they were ambushed from above. Kevin stepped out from cover to radio for support — knowing full well the risk. He was mortally wounded, but his actions saved the lives of many that day.

He is remembered for his unwavering integrity, loyalty, and courage. The State of California honored him by naming a stretch of Highway 101 in Arcata after him.

Proceeds go directly to the Navy SEAL Foundation, and donations can also be made to the Kevin Ebbert Foundation.

Funds from the foundation support causes that reflect Kevin’s passions and values:
• Medical students training to become General Practitioners
• Environmental research and conservation
• Veteran services — especially for Special Operations veterans
• Students pursuing music degrees and careers

This painting means a lot to me — and I hope it helps support the incredible work being done in Kevin’s name.

Honestly, I still don’t have a genre that is my main focus in photography, I can’t even decide if I like black and white or color. I love it all but more importantly I love and need to create it’s what sets my soul on fire! Natural light photography. Thanks ❤️

Been a minute since I’ve posted some of my work. Natural light photography. Thanks ❤️

Twelve years. I can’t believe it’s been that long since I set foot back on American soil after one of the most traumatic deployments of my life. I couldn’t cry for over a year—not even when I reunited with my favorite human in the world. I should have felt grateful to be alive, but we were all just… numb.

Ironically, it was a dog movie that finally cracked me open. Now? I cry at the drop of a dime.

And even with all of it—the pain, the silence, the weight—I’d do it all over again just to feel that kind of purpose.

Such a fun and easy shoot that I got carried away and took way too many photos but totally worth it!
