About

I was born in Dallas, Texas to a selfless woman named Melissa. A few days later I was in Los Angeles, California beginning the rest of this life with my new adopted Mom, Dad, and big sister. I spent much of my childhood in the care of my maternal Grandparents. It was this Grandfather who taught me how to shoot a gun when I was 5, and I grew up dreaming that I’d one day be a great sniper like Carlos Hathcock.

When I was 19 I gave up that dream, and during a very empty and aimless period of my life I took a basic photography course at Santa Monica College. I felt an internal click (excuse the pun) deep within me. I started to constantly ditch class to go take pictures, and so it began.

A year later I went to Australia on my first trip abroad (Mexico doesn’t count for southern Californians) and fell in love with collecting experiences. Since then I have traveled as much as I can and will continue to do so.

I still live in Los Angeles and am currently raising funds to continue my long term photography project called Waiting for Haiti.
