A little about me: I spent my early/mid 20s living in New York City pursuing one of my passions, musical theater.  I then spent a few years as a lead performer on various cruise ships.  While cruising around the world, I fell in love with photography and decided that I wanted to follow that path professionally.

I attended the Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle where I learned the photography skills necessary for work out in the field as well as in the studio.  I have now spent more than 15 years working as a full-time photographer.  I am currently based in Los Angeles and I have shot everything from weddings to the Oscars and Emmys to portraits and live music/festivals.  I have also enjoyed working on numerous films and TV shows as a set photographer.  Past and present clients include iheart Media, Urban Outfitters, American Express, Comedy Central, Logo, Getty Images and Associated Press to name a few. When I am not shooting, I am usually hanging out at the Magic Castle, or spending time with my wife and two kitties.  I also l0ve to travel!!  Some of my favorite countries are Greenland, France, Thailand, and Vietnam and Portugal.I absolutely love incorporating destination photography into my work. But enough about me!  How about you?  Please send me a note.  I’d love to hear from you!
