About
Ran around as a kid with a video camera shooting home television shows and interviewing friends. So obviously I went to business school. Then after a few years of that I realized I it was not going to cut it for me. So I shipped off to Florida for a vacation and happened across a film school. This was a life changing event for me. I had finally found something that gave me the drive and creative direction I wanted. Eventually everyone who wants to make movies ends up in LA at some point I think.
I have been photographing people for quite some time. Mostly I take head shots as I live in the LA. I usually only work through referral as I like to do it for fun.
Why this picture of me? Well it just so happens it was my match.com picture. That was where I met her.
