Immortality, Photography, and the USMC, with Sgt. David Martinez, USMC Ret.

Sgt. David Martinez is badass. He grew up hunting in the Sierra Nevadas and joined the Marines at 17. There, he served 9 years in the Infantry before getting wounded in Iraq and medically discharged. David has always been drawn to the mountains and recently left the city and California to move to Bozeman, Montana. Inspired by the landscape, he decided to take up photography. He worked hard to become an incredibly talented wildlife photographer, one of few who's capturing high quality photos of bighorn sheep. David is hiking the rugged mountains of Montana, in grizzly country, to get up close and personal with some impressive rams in their natural habitat. I highly encourage you to check out David's work, and for the aspiring photographers out there, he also offers 1 on 1 coaching.
