I started taking photography seriously during the digital revolution, when Canon introduced the 10D. I was immediately hooked and have since upgraded my gear multiple times. Currently, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV. While I’d love to say I’m self-taught, I have to credit the many talented photographers whose workshops and classes I’ve attended. I see photography as a lifelong journey of learning and discovery, whether it’s mastering a new piece of equipment, exploring a new genre, or perfecting post-capture digital processing.

I call Los Gatos, California my home, but I am fortunate to spend a significant amount of time in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and visit Death Valley, Yosemite, and other parts of the western US frequently. These landscapes provide endless inspiration, from the rugged coastlines to the majestic mountains and the barren deserts. I strive to capture the beauty and essence of these places through my photography and tell the stories of the people and cultures I encounter along the way.
