Born January 3, 1978, in Kalamazoo, Mich., I have been shooting photos for over half a decade. What began as a hobby in high school, when I started taking photos of my friends skateboarding, has become a passion and career goal. Today I am a freelance photographer in the Los Angeles area, where I continue to cover sports and music, shooting lots of skateboarding, snowboarding, and mostly hip-hop music. I have taken up shooting photos for such artists as Del the funky homosapien, Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Ugly Duckling, Pigeon John, Mista Sinista and Bukue One. The list goes on and on and is always growing. I have also been on several tours including the last three Cali Comm tours which took me throughout the United States for nearly six weeks at a time. I also spent a month in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, and Ireland with Ugly Duckling, Pigeon John, and Speech Defect.I love what I do and I do what I love...........ONE,
