I was born in Tahoe, and have always loved the outdoors. In school I studied cinematography at SFSU, worked for a bit, then decided to join the Peace Corps. Living high in the Andes Mountains of Bolivia, I fell in love with teaching. I came back the the U.S., and went back to school pursuing a biology degree. currently I fund my photography habit by teaching Biology at SFSU, and College of Marin. I have a partner and two young children, who I love to share my time with. As such it’s hard for me to be completely dedicated to my photography, but I get out when I can.
