I'm a jack-of-all-trades photographer and a writer.

I love photographing nature and people the most. I also love architecture, wildlife, high speed photography, and most everything in between. My photographs tend to border on fiction, and thus look surreal. It's how my imagination sees things, I suppose.

Fiction was my first love. I still write nearly every day. My style is becoming fairly distinct. Maybe you'll have the pleasure of reading it someday in published form. At least that's my great hope.

I was born and raised in southern California, in a decent suburb of Los Angeles county. I have loved photography since my early teens, and I have wanted to be a published author since I was in 5th grade. I currently have a 500-page novel under my belt that I am busy trying to rewrite. I am also currently working on the first of a series of novels that transcend multiple genres.

I now live most of my life in San Luis Obispo, California, where I attend Cal Poly State University.

If you ever have any questions about my work, just drop me a note. I'd be happy to help you improve. I also love receiving feedback so that I can improve. My philosophy is, if we as artists aren't getting better, if we aren't moving forward, then we're just falling behind. The world is always in need of newness, and artists are supposed to provide that newness. What better way is there to improve than by helping each other out?
