I grew up in Detroit, Michigan and realized that working in the auto industry was not for me. After my move to southern California, I worked in the Aerospace Engineering industry at Hughes Aircraft, Northrop Grumman and Beckman Instruments.

 

After the aerospace ended, I started my own business doing home improvement in Orange County where I was living at the time. I moved to Long Beach working with computers and freelance photography.

 

I am the CEO of my life.

 

My interest in photography started in the first grade with one of my classmates, Junebug Clark. His father was a professional photographer who gave his son a camera to take to school and take some pictures. He would take pictures of the students and the teacher in the classroom and give his photos to everyone in the class. I still have the pictures that sparked my interest in photography.

 

My first real camera was a Canon FTb 35mm with interchangeable lenses, which I still use today.

Most of my work is digital which allows me to proof the photo immediately at the shooting site so I can correct for errors and bring home good shots.

 

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have creating it.
