BIOGRAPHY

I am a commercial photographer based in San Luis Obispo California. I shoot still and motion imagery for a variety of advertising and editorial clients. I was born in San Francisco and raised in Sonoma Valley. I started taking photos while on a trip to Hawaii and then was inspired by my late relative, photographer Jim Marshall. That brought me to Cal Poly SLO State College where I graduated with a B.S. in Art + Design. From there it was back to San Francisco to assist commercial photographers and really learn the biz. I opened my own studio in 2002 in San Luis Obispo and remain here today with my wife Nina and two young boys, Rio and Aksel.
