Hello and thanks for taking the time to swing by. I wanted to write a little bit about myself, so you know who is behind the pictures you’ve been looking at. It makes me laugh a little, the idea that a few paragraphs could ever cover who someone is, but I’ll give it a go.

So let’s see… well, I was born in Los Angeles in the Spring of 1979, and although part of me has always liked to share that fact, the truth is that I have zero memories of the place and after subsequent visits back I realize that I’m very thankful to have left.

After a few early years living in Salt Lake City, with time spent in Elko, Nevada as well, my folks moved us up to Spokane, Washington in the winter of 88-89 and I’ve been here ever since.

I didn’t find photography until I was 36. Before that I had more jobs than any sane man would admit to. From grocery stores to fast food spots, music stores to freight companies, pizza joints, construction work, thermoplastics, I even spent nearly a decade manufacturing sterile injectables for a pharmaceutical company.

Since picking up the camera, I’ve dabbled in just about every avenue of photography you could imagine trying to find my own vision. I tried family photos and weddings (never again), senior portraits, product photography and real estate photos (something I still do for select clients).

Most of the images you see on this site were done simply for the love of the art. Commercial work is fine, there is a need to make some kind of money from it, after all - but most of my best work comes when I’m doing it simply because I want to. I’ve been lucky to cross paths with a lot of cool people who’ve allowed me to photograph them over the years and I consider it an honor.

So now, ten years into my pursuit of the mastery of this art and I felt it was time to put a website together more as a way to get my work in front of people than anything else. I wanted a way to display my work in the way I choose, free from the shackles of the social media algorithms.

I do have a shop here on the site, wherein you can find limited edition prints of some of my favorite images. Ultimately, I just hope you enjoy the work, and maybe some of the words as well.

So I hope you’ll take the time to look through the galleries, and please, don’t rush. Treat each image as if it were hanging on the wall in front of you, and you’ve got a glass of wine, water or whatever, and maybe you’re standing there with someone else, and you’re talking about how it makes you feel, and you might even ask “what does this mean?” That is, after all, what art is about.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and sticking with me as I wander down the path. I know there’s all sorts of flashing lights and noisy sounds competing for your time and attention these days and I appreciate you giving some of that attention to some words I’ve written here. I hope you come back around now and then.
