I find myself in a continual state of growth and discovery on both personal and professional levels. As an artist, my inspirations are wide-ranging and drawn from elements of vivid color, dramatic lighting, environmental conditions, music and simple emotion.  I am moved by cinematic yet mildly abstract photography, which allows my imagination to long for and fill in the details as desired. I am fascinated by casual people watching and I find great humor in the quirky human behaviors we all have. My goal in photography is to create images that evoke an emotional response while documenting memorable real moments in life. I prefer laughing uncontrollably with those I love over traveling the world,  however, doing both would fulfill my dreams as long as I am with my amazing wife Gisela and Teddy, our adorable puppy. I am an idealist and I love to push the envelope to see what life will throw my way...there are times it throws much more back at me then I ever expected. I feel much more comfortable with a camera in my hand than without one as I enjoy documenting life as it is intended.
