Since 2020, the founders of West Coast Sports Media have been dedicated to capturing the action, emotion, and stories of athletes and events through exceptional photography and authentic journalism.
Our Mission
At West Coast Sports Media, we provide journalistic coverage to both high school and college sports throughout the Greater Los Angeles area with an emphasis on telling a story through a photojournalist’s perspective. Our passion is telling the story of an event through the lens. Whether it’s a local high school team or the nation’s top-ranked college football program, our mission remains the same: to capture the story of the game—its action, players, and sidelines—through our unique visual perspective.
Our Vision
Our vision is to capture and share the stories of sports at all levels, from high school and college to the professional stage, celebrating the athletes, teams, and moments that inspire. Through exceptional photography and authentic journalism, we aim to become a leading voice in sports media across the West Coast and beyond.
Our Values
We value authenticity, community focus, and creativity in everything we do. By highlighting the stories that matter most to local teams and athletes, we aim to connect with our audience in meaningful ways. Guided by integrity, collaboration, passion, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we’re dedicated to creating content that inspires and celebrates the heart of sports.
