22 years young. Born and raised in B.C. It didn’t take long for Cole to realize his handwriting was pretty illegible, so, the camera became a way to write stuff down. Spending a lot of time like every B.C. kid, in the mountains chasing adventures he has always loved the challenge and the memories the camera creates. And that drive to capture the next adventure keeps him behind the lens. “I’ve grown up watching the dirt diaries series each summer, and to now be a part of it, I’m excited to showcase whatever I can capture for this year. Thank you for the opportunity!”
