Playing guitar since my early teens, music has always been a huge part of my life. I also, early on, loved seeing through the lens of a camera and admired greatly when a story could be told well through film….both still and moving.

Graduating Emerson College in Boston, Ma. with a double major in Film Production and Photography,  I ventured to the land of La La and landed in Los Angeles. The years in Hollywood were filled with all sorts of grand distractions. Among them: production manager and film editor on several feature films, film editor for Orson Welles, Writers Guild of America  screenwriter, still photographer for Capitol Records, CBS Television Network on-air promotion writer/producer, (including the “infamous” “Who shot J.R.?” campaign) and Pita Bread truck driver.

Feeling a strong need to get back to a more personal approach to storytelling and visuals, I returned to the still camera and the natural landscape that I cherished and sorely missed. In order to capture the natural beauty without compromise, I needed to shoot with the largest camera possible (pre-digital) and taught myself the large format view camera and, as long as my back holds out, will continue working in this age-old tradition.
