Raised in the Houston, Texas suburbs, I was an imaginative child devoted to drawing and painting. I grew up to work in the tech industry for over 25 years. At one point, I moved to Los Angeles where I spent most of my spare time teaching myself the craft of photography. On weekends, I would search Hollywood Boulevard or Venice Beach looking for the marvelous amongst the people I encountered on the street. I found something interesting and challenging about composing people on the fly in the frame of my camera to create cinematic and lively photographs.
Eventually, I moved back to Texas and settled in the Austin area. Here, I had the opportunity o take another path. I enrolled and graduated with a photography degree from Austin Community College. I now spend my time building an online design business and pursuing personal photo projects.
