Given the right context, the most ordinary moment can take your breath away. Whether or not the world is filled with infinite potential, unlimited beauty, delightful nuance, is entirely up to us. We choose the context, the framework, from which to view life, and thus we create meaning.

It is my intention to reveal the already-here magnificence of this world, and, if you wish, you are welcome to share in this perspective.

I am from Los Angeles, where my work as a filmmaker served as the foundation of my photography training. The sprawling city, with its adjacent beaches, mountains and desert served as my photography lab. One of my favorite meditative past-times was to ride my bicycle on Fountain or Hope with a Canon ae-1 slung over my shoulder.

I am honored to share that my film work has been seen internationally, and I confess I have no interest in listing credits and awards received. I have not received an Oscar, but have received enough sprinkled accolades to survive a Hollywood cocktail party. I will share that my first gallery experience was with acclaimed artist Emily Mast, in her 2014 The Least Important Things, which premiered at LACMA.

I left Los Angeles for love. I met my wife at a meditation retreat in 2021, and subsequently moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, where we began our relationship. We now live in the Appalachias, surrounded by the ever-inspiring mountain landscape and the life it holds.
