Since 1991 I've loved every moment of creating photographic and video art.  There is a burn that resides deep within me to produce artwork of true value.  Over the years I have filmed or photographed a huge variety of projects from corporate, TV commercials, documentaries, travel, history, science, legal, birthdays and weddings.  Those projects have allowed me to live and travel in Korea, Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong and the USA where I filmed, photographed and lived with the indigenous people and others around them.  During that time I was privileged to have met Presidents  of countries, leaders of industry and religion as well as thousands of everyday people around the world.  My fondest memories were when I lived in the poorest conditions in the Philippines.

As an American my life was always kind of cushy.  So, I determined to see life differently. I made arrangements to live in a tiny, dark, rank, rat and mosquito infested room just 6 feet from an open sewer in the Philippines.  I was there 3 weeks. During that time I learned volumes and saw the local people in a completely different light.  It was a beautiful, however difficult, experience.  Some of the photos in this website are from that time in that room.

These days I think of myself as a journalist and creative artist.  I look for the good or dramatic in imagery.  If somebody asked me what I prefer to shoot I would reply, "I want to shoot imagery that evokes an emotional reponse whether it be happiness, sadness, anger or pure joy. Either way I want to invite the viewers emotions to the surface."
