A changed life. A passionate pursuit.
Scott Rokis is a full-time, van-living freelance photographer focused on capturing the outer limits of our human experience via ultra-endurance pursuits. Scott is currently based West of the Mississippi in his self-converted sprinter-van named Patience. Go ahead, about him about Patience. It's changed his life and the story may impact yours too.
Scott grew up in Colona, IL, a land who's vertical variation is measured in a singular contour line. Always striving, Scott graduated from the University of Illinois with honors while earning the rare collegiate recognition of President of the Year. Scott's loyalty kept him with General Electric for 13 years as he grew his expertise in Business Intelligence; eventually leading a global team responsible for analytic insights across 27 systems and $4 billion in revenue.
So... Photography?
Living a parallel life, Scott traveled, camera in hand, through 22 countries and quietly dreamt of a life as a professional photographer. In 2016, he walked away from the office, the house, the utilities, and moved into 72 sq ft of living space...dedicating his life to the pursuit of photography.
