I began my photographic journey in 1986, in the quiet red glow of a high school black-and-white darkroom. I was drawn immediately to structure, geometry, and the way light defines form. In that first class, I met Jay—an introduction that would eventually lead me to his sister, Marie. Marie and I have now been married for fifteen years, and she remains my most trusted critic—still the one with the better instinct for chasing light.

In 1999, I earned a degree in Geography from The University of Texas at Austin, where my fascination with land, pattern, and spatial relationships deepened. I went on to build a parallel career in aerial photogrammetry, Lidar, and remote sensing—disciplines that sharpened my understanding of scale, spatial form, and the abstraction of the built and natural landscape.

Today, I work with both Hasselblad medium format and Sony full-frame camera systems, selecting each tool with intention.
