About
I was born and raised in Pasadena, California. I am currently living in Manhattan Beach. I believe that the implementation of cleverness and inventiveness helps unite a spirited photograph. Part of my daily existence consists of deepening my connections through the lens.
My photography journey began, at an early age. With my parent's permission, I built a homemade, uncomplicated dark room, in our basement. I rearranged the stockpile in the basement, in order to build our photography setting. It became my place to recharge and a place for forgetting things in the world that had to be done. I designed authentic images, hoping our viewers would make their own scenic interpretations.
My knowledge and skills were acquired, without formal instruction. I maintain my confidence grew, when I became the privileged cameraman for my high school and the college newspaper photographer. (Loyola High School and the University of Southern California). My next endeavor was defined as a commercial photo apprentice, in Hollywood (1984). Beneficially, I studied film and advertising at the Art Center College of Design ((phone number hidden)5). In conjunction, I shared my congruent studies at the University of Southern California Film School. Consequently, I realized I could envision something ordinary as extraordinary and interpret what I perceived. I conveyed these elucidations, in appealing and meaningful photos. Composition is everything in photography.
I now have a full-time career in television; having worked at MTV, Discovery, TiVo, FOX, and XBOX. I consider myself a passionate creator who finds joy in capturing landscape, aerial, close-up, and portrait photography. I split my creative time equally between film making and photography.
In 2022, Business Insider listed me as the Top 12 Executives Leading the Streaming TV Business.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, as an artist, a husband, father, and creator.

Influences and inspiration
I believe that the implementation of cleverness and inventiveness helps unite a spirited shoot. Part of our daily existence consists of deepening our connections and having more than two laughs. Working side by side with clients, we encourage the implementation of originality, fluency and elaboration, into the curious minds. We dream and scheme with our clients.
My photography journey began, at an early age. I treasure my memories. From the time my Mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (I was 12 years old) until today, I am convinced that it is my duty to share my picturesque view of the world.
Although tragedy struck our family, my sister and I turned tragedy into triumph. For every tragedy, there is a possible, happy ending. Mine had just started. My sister Molly and I knew we needed a distraction from the chaos. We were clouded with dis-ease. With our parent's permission, we built a homemade, uncomplicated and unembellished dark room, in our basement. We rearranged the stockpile in the basement, in order to build our photography setting. It became our place to recharge and a place for forgetting things in the world that had to be done. We designed authentic images, hoping our viewers would make their own scenic interpretations.
