I was born in Akron, Ohio in 1969. In 1992 I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in electrical engineering. After graduating I took a job as an engineer and moved to Houston, Texas. I’ve been living and working here ever since.

Through 2010, I worked the old fashioned way, using a medium format camera and black and white film. All of my work was handcrafted from start to finish using chemical processes in a traditional wet darkroom. In 2011 however, I joined the digital revolution. I got a smartphone, a digital SLR, and a Facebook account, and I was off to the races.

Primarily I photograph people, although other subjects interest me as well. I tend to like photographs of simple things, without a lot of clutter. I like the idea of taking the ordinary and making someone look deeper, helping them see in a way they’ve never thought of before.
