Finding my passion for photography at age 12, I have been producing images ever since.  Traveling at an early age throughout the US and abroad, cameras in toe, I knew I was destined to make photography a lifelong profession.  After receiving a BFA in photography at California Institute of the Arts, I relocated from my birthplace in Southern California to Texas. There I continued pursuing architectural and commercial photography, all the while still exploring and capturing images abroad.  

In 2017, after twelve months in Seattle with a VR upstart, I had the opportunity to spend a year photographing throughout Eastern Europe, with a focus on Neo-Brutalism Architecture.  With Timisoara, Romania, as my home base, I traveled extensively throughout Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungry, and Ukraine.

2018 finds me back in The States, and a homecoming to Southern California, as I continue my architectural, commercial and personal photography work.  I recently accepted a part time teaching position at California Institute of the Arts.  This is the first time HDR (High Dynamic Range) process, and it's implementation in advanced digital photography techniques, is being taught at CalArts.  

I find interest in the border between nature and human expansion - that play between static space, transitional spaces, and where urban constructs (which attempt, achieve, or at times fail) to harbor balance between us and Mother Earth.

Having been mentored at CalArts by Jo Ann Callis and John Mandel, I continue to explore the relationship between photography and painting - light to the camera sensor and brush to the canvas. 

I continue to make time traveling with Sammy, my blind Blue Heller.
