An early morning self portrait along the banks of Lake Hodges.

I've worn a lot of hats in my 32 years. Architecture student. Cook. Kitchen Manager. Proof reader. Paginator. Pre-Press Analyst. Graphic Composer (aka Graphic Designer). Mr. Plow (not really, just seeing if you were paying attention). Technology Integration Specialist. Photographer. Web Designer. And most importantly, a soon to be husband.

It's really quite a variety. And the variety helps keep me on my toes and learning new things. But the one thing that ties all these different threads together is creating. I just really like to create. And it doesn't matter to me if it's an abstract idea (creating a pleasant night out for someone with a well cooked steak or creating more time by figuring out a more efficient way of working) or a literal item (creating a powerful photograph or a memorable book cover), I just enjoy creating it.

My desire to create something great doesn't stop once I've done it. No matter how great I made it, I'm always looking for a way to make it better. As an example, even though I really enjoy this image from La Jolla Cove, I still went back and created this image of sunset, just a few steps away. And even though I'm proud of the cover for The Ancestral Puebloan Primer, I think the cover for America's Southwestern Treasures (published a little over a year later) is much stronger.

My Resume 

Just so we're all clear, I'm actually quite happy with my current position, but if any of you out there want to talk 7 or 8 digit salaries, I may be willing to reconsider that stance.

Coming Soon

Freelance Work 

I am available for freelance projects as a photographer and design work (print, web or both). I maintain a very high standard for my work and look forward to working with you.

Design Portfolio 

As time permits, I plan to add a page to this website with examples from my design portfolio. In the meantime, the site itself serves as a rather large example of what I can do, as it has been entirely designed and coded by me.

More Coming Soon

Friends & Family 

Assorted images just for friends and family to view. The password is the name of my favorite team. Hint: It's the same for basketball and football.
