Why Not Me? Answering the Call to Create

Creativity is my heartbeat. After years of stepping away from photography and video, I finally felt the pull to return — and this time I’m answering the call to create. This is my very first YouTube video and the start of a new chapter for Summit Lab Studio. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and later moved north for a quieter, nature-filled life with my family. Along the way I rediscovered my love for photography — especially capturing the wild, untamed moments outdoors. From early mornings on Slacker Hill chasing fog over the Golden Gate Bridge to exploring mountains and wild spaces, this channel is where I share that journey. If you love nature photography, wildlife photography, or just want to follow someone starting from zero and chasing a creative dream, you’re in the right place. I’ll share:

  • Stories from my creative restart

  • Wildlife and outdoor photography adventures

  • Some hunting expeditions

  • Life as a husband and father

  • Tips, inspiration, and honest experiences as a new YouTuber
