My name is Erik Schwab, I was born and raised here on Long Island and currently reside in Montauk on the most eastern part of NY. I am a science teacher at one of the public schools, and balance my free time surfing and shooting photographs.
I can go on an on about my love for surfing and all things ocean, but I'll spare you. My love for the ocean was what led me down the road of trying to capture what I saw so that I could share it with those that couldn't experience it themselves. I'll just put it out there that I ruined many cameras in make-shift water proof bags before GoPro's became a thing! Fast forward about 15 years, and my gear is looking quite a bit more professional. Eventually, the birth of Instagram gave me a platform for my photographic passion and I now had a way to share my passion with the world!
