Grew up in Southern California and attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Studied photography there and was inspired by the works of August Sanders, Richard Avedon and William Eggleston. During my studies, I took a few semesters away from school and assisted/worked for the late, great, Arnold Newman. In 2007 I moved to New York City and traveled the world working for another renowned photographer, Jonathan Becker for 15 years. After a long journey in this industry of working with other photographers, I've now decided to pursue my own photography career. Currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
