Raised on the Mendocino Coast of Northern California, I was exposed to a fertile creative environment that encouraged individuality and artistic expression. Early in life I discovered that through photography I could crystallize and record moments, and in this medium render how I see the world into something tangible and tactile that I could then share with others.

As a photographer I aim to recognize and respond to serendipity, always poised to capture the decisive moment when all the visual and soulful elements of a composition come together. This consciousness is the guiding principal of my images and of my working philosophy.

My 20 years in the field of professional photography covers a wide spectrum of subjects and experiences...

Here are a few of the highlights:
