I work as a financial advisor in Sacramento. Have four kids ages 10,11,12,13 two boys and two girls. Both boys play comp soccer so usually at practice or game every day. I have always wanted to explore photography. I figured I would get around to it one day. But My wife had a different idea. Last month(Nov 06) she took me to Best Buy didn't tell me why ... when we got there she said I could not leave until I had a camera (canon 400d xti). So since then I have been taking photos :). Hopefully this year I can take a photography class or two.

"Gene simply amazes me. In a relatively short time with a camera he has roared through 'beginner' status into a realm of sureness and maturity that is simply fantastic. Looking at many of his photos I learn a hell of a lot. I often wonder if I would have had the nerve to frame a photo the same way. He is the real thing - genuine, unalloyed, pure shining talent. A *great* creative eye, a great sense of frame.
AND he's a nice guy! I promise you, you couldn't do better than take an hour or two sometime soon and look through his work. It's like some marvelous diamond mine; you turn the corner and look! More gems."22nd April, 2007

"I'm truly glad that Gene's wife forced him to finally get that camera ... the work that I've seen so far from him are incredible ... an awesome balance of color, light and shadow ...
If this is just the beginning, I can't wait to see where he is headed ..."6th February, 2007
