I travel frequently and my bags are always packed for traveling assignments. Born in Singapore and spending my formative years in places such as Dubai and Iran has instilled a wanderlust in me that makes it difficult to stay in one place all year. Projects have taken me to Yellowstone National Park camping while photographing the winter landscape, Olympic National Park, Banff National Park, and Glacier National Park, Kayaking in the San Juan Islands, and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Originally trained as a musician, many of my clients are involved in the performing arts. In my earlier days I worked as a pianist in the studios of artists such as Catherine Malfitano, Neil Rosenshein, and the Chicago Symphony's Donald Peck. I even performed on a few recordings with the Chicago Symphony's John Bruce Yeh and Charlie Vernon. These days my musical goals consist of mastering the tools of available light photography in order to capture that sense of performance on film. I now make my home in Ventura county, a short drive up California's coast from Los Angeles.
