My experience with art began as a little boy when my grandfather setup a little painting studio in his own home. There, I saw my mother, aunt, and grandfather give their visions form, shape, and color. But it wasn't until a college photography course set off a lifelong passion for photography and defined my preferred medium. I eventually moved to Austin, Texas to pursue a career in the health sciences and subsequently moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. In Utah, I took advantage of the scenery to really refine my photography and adapt to the digital medium. Now living in Houston, Texas with my wife and son, I pursue art and photography when time allows. While it is something I do alone, I find it a deeply emotional and cathartic process that keeps me happy and better able to relate to others - making me a better husband, father, and pharmacist.

My work tends towards the colorful and as such, I was an enthusaistic follower of HDR photography when it first came out. However, I have tended towards the more realistic in the past few years. My preferred subjects are landscapes, cityscapes, and architecture that I find aesthetically pleasing. I hope you find them so too through my photos and art.
