As with so many photographers, a caring and dedicated teacher began in me a life long passion with photography. I began with an old manual Pentax film camera, and learned to develop and print my photos in a small darkroom tucked in the corner of a family bath. The old gear, like an old friend, still hangs around to keep me company.
For most of my life I have lived and worked in Steinbeck’s California, cradled by the Gabilan Mountains and a stones throw from Monterey Bay. My work experience includes service as a medic with the United States Air Force, a production engineer and HAZMAT team member with IBM Corporation, and a commercial property appraiser and photographer in my own company.
I photograph a wide range of commercial subjects including business and event portraits. My clients include graphics design and media companies, manufacturing and agricultural operators, retail stores, restaurant operators, professional services and government agencies. Please see my Portfolio for samples of my work.
As past president of our local Rotary and Chamber of Commerce, I spend much of my time volunteering for our community. One of the most gratifying things I do is to provide free family photography to the underserved members of our communities through local family outreach centers such as CASA and the YMCA.
