About

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, working statewide and nationally.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Commercial and editorial architecture, portraits, documentary, and hospitality – sometimes everything everywhere all at once.  FAA-Certified 107 drone pilot.

Training included a two-month career as a professional dishwasher and bus-boy at the Golden West House of Pancakes, an equally brief stint as an auto-glass technician, space sales for free weeklies in Santa Cruz, and in-home sales of kitchen cabinet refacing; my worst job ever.

Eventually developed a career as a hands-on general contractor and kitchen-and-bath designer (until I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and went back to my first love, photography) leading me to feel a bond with designers, tradespeople, artists and artisans, and those who live in, work in, and use what they make.

AND
Before he passed at nearly 16 – a ripe old age for any dog – I used to spend a lot of time trying to understand what went on inside the mind of my Wheaten Terrier, Whiskey.

I’m sure he felt the same about me.
