Though born and raised in the Bay Area, my wonderful parents saw to it that my horizons were ever broadening and that my view of the world included much more than the beautiful hills of the Livermore Valley. With their support and loving devotion, they have allowed me the opportunity to develop and nurture my creative impulses and indulge my relentless drive to seek and capture experiences on film.

A self-described nerd, I have an unabashed fascination with modern technology and all things digital and mechanical.Through my studies at the Academy of Art, I have learned to incorporate the technical with the aesthetic and how to develop the courage and dedication that is necessary to endure.
