Beyond being a dad and husband, my biggest motivation is creativity.

Despite how serious I may look in that photo… I am pretty much anything but serious and writing an about me seems way too cringe. Here is a breakdown of how I got here instead:

Age 10: House burns down. Loses all photographic proof of existence before 1995.

Age 13: Shows interest in Graphic Design. Pirates Photoshop off LimeWire.

Age 14: Gets a free digital camera from an EarthLink free trial promo. Photography interest starts.

Age 18: Decides to go to Art institute - San Francisco for graphic design.

Age 23: Finally goes to Art institute - San Francisco for graphic design

Age 24: Drops out of college

Age 25: Buys a new car. New Car is sideswiped 9 days later. insurance payout goes to first camera.

15 years later, Photography is still my favorite creative outlet and a major part in the legacy I want to leave behind.
