Born in the charming town of Grass Valley, nestled in the heart of California, I began my illustrious career as a professional news photographer immediately following my high school graduation in 2002. Spanning an impressive 13-year tenure, I have had the privilege of covering some of the most significant news stories in California, including devastating wildfires, the intricacies of politics, and the complexities of crime.
In addition to my extensive work in news photography, I have also honed my skills as a writer and director, having crafted dozens of films, including two feature-length productions. My cinematic endeavors have garnered recognition at various film festivals, secured international distribution, and even been featured on the esteemed platform of Netflix.
