“Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. My wife Alissa is my strength, and our son Liam is the perfect lil'person we have been waiting for... Growing up in the Bay Area has made me spoiled. It's been awesome home base, and wonderful place to live. When we travel out of the country it's great to come home to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. As a avid motorcyclist & scooterist, I’ve taken some fun trips and photos. Two wheels have that stigma of freedom...this has led to some interesting times to say the least. I love experiencing other cultures, people and of course the food from different countries. Capturing the beauty, and sometimes suffering of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are interconnected. This has made me appreciate my own home and family. As images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same.”
