About

I was born and raised in San Diego, California and began shooting photographs with my dads old Canon AE-I back in grade school. From then on my passion became making photos that compel people into appreciating the natural environment on earth to its full beauty. I started attending Brooks Institute of photography in March of 2006.

While at school I signed a contract with then Blue Edge Outdoor Magazine and began my work there on various features and editorials and even tried my hand at selling some advertising space for the magazine. Ventura Surf Shop and set up and managed a web based retail store.

From there I have completed a two month internship with one of San Diego’s finest real estate photographers (Brent Hayward Photography). There I was taught the art of shooting high end homes.

In March of 2009 I recieved my Bachelors Degree In Visual Journalism from Brooks Institute. After Brooks I started assisting Rich Cook, a San Diego based photographer who specializes in wedding and band photography.

In May of 2009 I completed the San Diego Regional Lifegaurd Academy and applied for a job in Coronado, where I worked during the Summer part time while assisting for Rich.

I am looking forward to capturing, documenting and illustrating everything you need. Please feel free to contact me with any questiions that you may have about my photography.
