Duration: Been shooting a camera since high school. Been shooting professionally since 2005.

Staff: I mostly shoot commercial assignments and that tends to require a small army. I have a go-to team sitting in a trench, playing solitaire, ready to mobilize.

Education: Bachelor of Science in advertising from The University of Texas. Also got some street smarts.

Cultural Influences: Comedy fuels my brain. I’m also a sports fan and a music lover. When not shooting commercially, I’m shooting music festivals.

Environment: In studio, on location and on stage.

Philosophy: Philosophy? I'm not that deep. I'll have to get back to you on this one.
