Raised in the heart of sunny Southern California, I have always found inspiration from the diversity and easygoing lifestyle around me.  I am an advocate for the idea that life is an art.  I believe that photography is one of the ways that we can truly capture the essence of the human spirit.  Born with a desire to create and explore, I have fused all that I love into my job so I can communicate it with the rest of the world.
