My day job is being an IT geek, photography is something I do just for the fun and love of it on the side. I have the support of a wonderful wife and 2 kids that are great stand ins when I need to test out a new idea. :)

Creating beauty and art in a single frame is my approach anytime I am behind the camera.

I started shooting (35mm Film) when I was in the Navy 1994-1998 and overseas alot, but for some reason or another it never quite took until recently.

I began shooting seriously again over the past couple of years. For over a year now I have focused my energy on beauty/portrait/fashion photography, an area of photography that I truly love the most and have found that I have a natural talent for.

I have spent hours and hours teaching myself to continually become a better photographer as well as adding studio lighting and photoshop skills for compositing and beauty touchups to my arsenal.

I operate out of my own ,fairly elaborate :) , home studio.

Not long ago I started my own magazine, mostly to have complete control over my images and how they are published, but mostly to get my images in the hands of people they way I want to see them, in Print.
