The first photograph I ever developed, circa 1999.

I grew up in southern California, where I briefly entertained the notion that I'd like to be a clinical psychologist. That all changed once I deveoped my first photograph during high school. I was hooked and was almost never without my camera from then on. I dreamed of going to art school in San Francisco, but on a whim I applied for a one-year Foundation Course at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London and was accepted. I took a leap of faith and traveled across the world to a place I'd never even dreamed of seeing to begin my study of art. After completing my foundation year where I learned about oil painting, life drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography, I went on to earn my BA (Hons) Photography degree from Camberwell College of Arts, part of the University of the Arts, London, and one of Europe's largest arts universities.

During my time abroad I was fortunate enough to travel throughout England and other parts of Europe, which instilled in me a deep appreciation of the similarities and differences in other cultures to my own.

My photography centers on the landscape and celebrates the quiet moments of life. Travel plays an important role in the way I work, as it directs my thoughts and attentions to the detais of my surroundings, both physically and mentally. I am never more refreshed or inspired than when I am in the midst of some kind of journey.

Today I live and work in Orange County, California.
