A couple weeks late here but… OUTSIDE LANDS!!! See you next year ✌️

I can’t put 2025 into just words. So here’s a lot of words and a couple numbers, about a life behind the shots of this year.

31 flights over 49,000 miles, 4 different countries.
1 dislocated ankle, 3 jet fly-bys, 2 helicopter rides, 1 F1-car roller, 3 F1 circuits, 1 Zamboni. I flew 10/12 months of the year! Wow.

I visited Mecca at 29, and accomplished Umrah during the month of Ramadan thanks to my family at @race.service shooting with Aston Martin F1 in Saudi Arabia. It was one of the most impactful moments of my life and changed me for the better. Moneeb means “returns to God”, and it was very cool to do something so meaningful.

I dislocated my ankle on the first day of a 10-day road rally across the southwestern United States, and kept shooting. I developed incredible friendships with people now scattered all across the country and it was so cool! My ankle was a balloon for 3 weeks!

I shot 2 projects in one weekend, EA’s NHL26 and NASCAR in Somoma, whereby i lost my luggage on one flight, flew in on another at 6am, shot all day, got food poisoning at the Whole Foods hot bar, and threw up all night until my 8am call time, then flew out same day to the next shoot by 6am and shot all day. It was awesome. 10/10 would do it again because my friends were there.

I was trusted to drive 980hp super cars, luxury sedans, prototypes, AND a ZAMBONI on ice!!! Which was incredible.

I brought my homebuilt turbocharged Miata out to California for the first time, tuning it the whole way, burning out some sensors, blowing coolant hoses and overheating, doing roadside repairs and freezing as i slept in it on the way over the high desert. It still kinda doesn’t work right 💪🏽

And i bought my dream motorcycle, roadtripping across the US with it tied up in the back of a 1-way uhaul from South Dakota.

Thank you to everyone for making 2025 so great. What a blessing it was to share it with so many.

The last few months have been some of the most fulfilling of my entire life. Every day someone will trust me with their vision, their ideas or their business and I get to prove myself or learn and grow. I couldn’t ask for a better time to be me. I am so grateful to be a small part of something so grand as this life itself.

Thank you <3
