The best part of this job is getting to know so many amazing people's stories. Steve was no exception. Not only is he an extremely hard worker, but one of the most genuine and hilarious individuals I've had the opportunity to photograph. Within seconds of meeting Steve on his farm in Bard, California I knew we would get along.

When you get the opportunity to work with the desert warriors, you jump on that! Alex reached out to me with the idea for a fun day at the track/range where they practice a unique sport called mounted archery.

Read MoreEXOS | Club Solutions Magazine | Phoenix, AZ
In december I was hired by Club Solutions Magazine to photograph the founders of EXOS, an elite athlete training facility. I had heard of EXOS, and couldn't wait to see behind the curtain of this elite facility. I was not disappointed with what I saw. When I arrived a week before to meet with the marketing coordinator and scout the location I knew this was unlike any "gym" I had ever seen before. The first indicator was that every person who walked through the front doors looked like an olympian. I came to find out they were actually olympians. Gold medal track and field olympians at that.

As much as I'd like to take all the credit for this amazing shoot, I could not have created these photos without Chloe! Now when I say Chloe, I mean our amazing model / senior Chloe. But, I must also thank my girlfriend/assistant Chloe as well for her help as always! The dual Chloe's made it difficult to give direction at some points during the shoot, but I think it also helped lighten the mood and add some humor.
