about
Originally from the Bay Area in California, I now call Mesa, Arizona home. What began as a fascination with capturing moments has grown into a lifelong passion for photography. Things got serious in 2007 after some major gear upgrades—and macro photography quickly became my gateway into the art of seeing the world differently.
In 2012, everything accelerated. I met a group of friends who became mentors and helped shape my path. That same year, I discovered astrophotography—specifically the challenge and beauty of capturing the Milky Way. I spent many late nights driving beyond Phoenix, chasing dark skies, chasing silence, and learning how to translate it all into images.
Over time, my work has been published in magazines and books, but some of my most rewarding experiences come from teaching others. Through one-on-one workshops, group sessions, online guides, and guest publications, I’ve had the privilege of helping many fellow photographers grow their skills and confidence.
Sharing what I’ve learned is deeply personal to me. I know what it feels like to hit creative walls or feel unsure of your direction. That’s why I welcome anyone genuinely committed to improving and exploring this craft further.
My interests range from sweeping landscapes and tiny macro details to travel, birding, and storytelling through stills. You’ll often find me around the Arizona desert, camera in hand, chasing hummingbirds or raptors. I’ve also had the opportunity to visit places like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza—where my love for photography and ancient history collide.
When I’m home, I spend time with my two cats, browse local used bookstores, and—like clockwork—detour for Mexican food. Outside my creative work, I’ve volunteered with Liberty Wildlife since 2016, helping rehabilitate and release birds of prey. It’s a quiet way I give back to the wildlife that inspires so much of what I do.
