Twelve years ago I landed my first job as a Junior Graphic Designer in San Francisco, California. While working my way up the ranks from one start-up company to the next during the dot-com boom, I settled in Napa,California working for a cosmetics company as a creative director. It wasn't long before I got the entrepreneurial itch to break away from the office life to start freelancing. Six years later, when my brother and I decided to move to New York City, it was clear that with our combined experience and passion for quality media production, we had to go into business together.

After graduating from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Visual Arts, I spent time in France, teaching in Aix-en-Provence. For me, photography has always been a window into other places and ideas -- my travels while in Europe helped me gain an even wider portfolio. When returning to California I was lucky enough to work as an assistant to advertising photographer Bill Janes. I also started working as a freelance photography as well as image retoutcher for a small stock image agency. In 2006 I moved to Manhattan to follow my passion for photography
