I was born on a Monday in Wyandotte, a small suburb of Detroit, and spent my entire childhood in South Eastern Michigan. After secondary school I moved to San Francisco to attend college. There I studied art and photography formally for five years.
After graduating I worked as a freelancer in San Francisco for a short time, shooting for various publications around the Bay Area.I was a founding member of the little known and now unfortunately defunct photographic agency, Group M35. I also served as technical director and webmaster to the group for three years.
Today I continue to live in San Francisco, working on personal photographic projects, as well as several web projects with other photographers and designers.
