I was born on a Monday in Wyandotte, a small suburb of Detroit, and spent my entire childhood in South Eastern Michigan. After secondary school I moved to San Francisco to attend college. There I studied art formally for five years, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in documentary photography.

Today I continue to live in San Francisco, working on personal photographic projects, as well as several web projects with other photographers and designers. Additionally, I hold a part time faculty position at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
