Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area there have been so many amazing opportunities that make for an interesting balance of art, culture, and technology.

As a hobbyist photographer am looking to explore the boundaries of what it means to pursue a passion while not making it your primary career.

Photography has been a passion since my Dad first handed me his Canon AE-1 in the 1980's and despite having a degree in graphic design I have done an absolutely horrible job maintaining a portfolio.

My hope is to kick those bad habits and start actively shooting, sharing, and critiquing with a growing network of those whom share photography as a passion!
