The Short:

Octavio Rivas is a jack of all trades and by this I mean he has worked in multiple industries, ranging from Ski resorts, hospitality, military, and recreational. He works out of a room with some climbing gear, skis, and his dog Vesta, who stares at him for another walk around the mountains or treats.

​

The Long:

I was born in beautiful Concepcion, Chile. (Yes, the country that looks like a Chili pepper) We moved to the states when I was a child, doing my elementary in Virginia. Later would move back to Chile and stay throughout high school. During this time I was focused on a snowboarding career and instead, I got injured and started to reconsider my life choices. I would create a board shop that was a great success and then was looking into becoming a sports physician. However, life happen again and decided to move to Incline Village, NV, and study Finance & Economics and Global Business Management.

​

With more things happening in between, I started to look at what made me happy, and photography and film were always passions of mine. I decided it was time to follow this path and see where it will lead me.
