Born in California and raised in Kansas since he was seven, Emilio calls the Flatlands of the Midwest home, where he learned to appreciate wide-open spaces and beyond them through travel and photography. He works as an engineer full-time, but outside of that, he’s a photographer who rarely leaves home without his favorite Fujifilm camera. Photography is a big part of how he expresses himself and loves documenting trips, rides, and moments in between. 

Emilio enjoys spending time outdoors, whether that’s mountain biking locally or heading to Bentonville or Turkey Mountain, getting out on his gravel bike just for fun, or loading up his 5th Gen 4Runner and heading out of town with his wife, Viviana. Colorado — especially areas like Breckenridge and Telluride — is one of his favorite places to explore each year, and he’s always looking forward to the next off-road trail or road trip. Through photography, travel, and time spent outdoors, Emilio hopes to inspire others to create, explore, and enjoy the time they have.
