About Me.

I've been looking at life through the lense for the past 15 years now.  Having always had interest and skills in the fine arts, my passion for photography started with formal training at the college level.  From there I spent some time in a commercial studio where I got the opportunity to participate in all kinds of shoots using all kinds of film formats.  I then took a brief detour into the IT realm for 5 years during the technology boom (sometimes you just can't turn down a good paycheck and benefits).  But money can only take you so far, and the need for creative expression drove me to seek a new line of work.  After spending six months traveling around Europe and living in London, I found myself back in Connecticut (the money had run out!)-- desperately seeking employment.  I was fortunate to land a position at Motion, Inc., a small production company in Hartford.  There I've acquired a new set of skills, and am once again behind the lense as the primary shooter for the company.

My background has given me a unique skill set; the technology side, which allows me to learn and adapt to new software and technology easily, and the creative side, which drives me to produce the best possible work; be it video, stills, web design or music.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
