A black and white photo of a middle-aged man with glasses and a short beard, holding his head with one hand and looking downward, standing outdoors near a railing, with an urban setting in the blurry background.

A little history…

Inspired by my first job at an AMC movie theater in Mesa, AZ, I studied film in college (SDSU), but after a short stint in Los Angeles, I decided it wasn't for me. The pandemic eventually gave me the opportunity to finally pursue my real passion: photography.

It's been two years since I relocated to Orange County after spending 8 years in Portland, OR. I live with my girlfriend and our two rad kitties, Samantha and Noodles. We’re planning on adding our own little one into the mix soon!

When I'm not taking photos I enjoy sipping locally roasted coffee, devouring science fiction novels, (Currently reading The Afterlife Project by Tim Weed) going on hikes in the chaparral-covered hills, snorkeling the rocky coves, or spending sunsets on my longboard at my favorite surf break. (Blackies is firing bro! Lol.)
