I graduated in 2008 from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in Global Studies. My love for photography was discovered after assisting various photographers from Brooks Institute of Photography. Since then my work has been featured as a finalist in Photographer’s Forum’s 29th Annual College Photography Contest and have been published in the Best of College Photography 2009. My photos have been featured on popular gaming websites such as Shoryuken, EVO Championship Series, Kotaku and Joystiq.

Past projects have included photographing inside kitchens of acclaimed restaurants, the Wine Cask and The Hungry Cat in Santa Barbara. Documenting the everyday life of chefs and cooks inside a professional kitchen, from the hustle and bustle of fiery workspace to the camaraderie between the family behind the stoves. I am currently working on documenting the competitive gaming, with particular emphasis on the Street Fighter community.
