Photographing Professionally now for over 15 years, I 
was first captured by a pin hole camera made from a Quaker
Oats box in 7th grade shops class. I sat it atop a hill 
overlooking my hometown ( Altoona Pa ) and pulled back 
the tape and counted to 30 then hurried off to school. When 
I put the paper in the developing tray and saw the image 
come to life - I was hooked, and still am to this day. 

Starting out at Penn State University with the hopes of being
an Architect, my underlaying passion of photography got the
best of me. I moved to San Francisco where I pursued
photography and met my mentor  -  well known Bay Area and
Eastman Kodak  Photographer Jim Dennis. Along with him
and my individual studies I honed my skills and soon found
myself shooting major San Francisco and National events
people and productions, from movie set stills to corporate 
affairs, product, fashion and lifestyle  as well as working on
my fine art photography. I opened my studio in Hayes Valley 
San Francisco where I have lived for 14 years before coming
to Portland Oregon and now spend my time shooting
between the two cities and  all points in between.

My clients range from Fortune 500 companies to Small
business start ups - Magazines, Corporate, E commerce
Product, Events, Commission works, Musicians,  Fashion
Editorial and more.

My cameras have taken me to places, situations and people
that I could only have could have  imagined as a child.
