Powerfully dyslexic.
I was born in Los Angeles in the rainy season of 1981. With most of my extended family in the mid-west, I spent much of my formative years in the back of a 1978 Chevy Impala station wagon driving the interior of the United States, yet seldom crossing the Mississippi. New York has been my home for over twenty years now. In that time I have worked in the photographic industry, film and television production, carpentry, education, design research, brand strategy, creative direction, spacial design, marketing, brand innovation, and product design. I am an industrial designer working towards innovative, meaningful, and scalable solutions.

While traveling I always keep a book to capture the things that catch my mind. i see and think. Some times it is a scrap of paper, other times is a cathedral. I was once told that to really look at a thing you should try and draw it. So I try. This is a record of a summer is spent living in Copenhagen Denmark.
Shooting photos has afforded me an excuse to pry, something to offer, and a persistent means to get outside my comfort zone.
