Hi,

Thank you for stopping by my website!!! I’d like to start off by telling you a little bit about myself and my journey with photography.

Here’s the little bit about myself, I live in Ladera Ranch, Ca. with my wife and two daughters (a eight-year-old and a four-year-old). I currently work full-time as a Business Development Representative for a major beer company. I enjoy going to car shows, riding my motorcycle and making stuff with my own two hands and of course photography! I love spending some of my free time photographing cars, motorcycles and capturing wonderful and beautiful moments for my family and anyone that is interested in having me take their photos.

My love for photography started when I was very young. I remember always being the one taking pictures of family and friends whenever I got the chance. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I actually started to get more involved in the art. I started off my freshman year taking photography as an elective. I learned to shoot with a Pentax K1000 and black and white film. I use to carry that camera everywhere I went. For the next four years I always had a camera and a pocket full of black and white film! I also spent a lot of time in the dark room. I loved being involved with the whole A-Z process. After high school I continued to take pictures but slowly started fading.

Fast forward 18 years later… Just like many photographers the birth of my first daughter drew me back to the world of photography. Although technology had changed the cameras and the industry quite a bit from what I was use to, the concept was still the same. I was so infatuated with my beautiful little girl that I bought a digital camera and started to learn how to use it, and lets just say my love for photography has returned!
