I'm a published commercial art photographer and awarded indie filmmaker.
My motion film work is in the permanent collection of the Joseph Campbell Foundation.
My photography has been featured as decor on the sets of major TV shows / series.
I've also worked on photo documentaries, including multiple assignments in El Salvador, in order to directly benefit the remote communities there.
I currently make images for Los Angeles Opera.
Among the highlights in my documentary work , was an opportunity to be close to and photograph (for a publication) the Dalai Lama.
personal: I have a degree in Religious Studies (scholarship) from the University of Southern California, where I was a 2 time recipient of the Scholar-Athlete award. I'm also a large-scale painter for the sake of movement and celebration. I practice yoga devotedly.
