ABOUT ME

After a nearly twenty-year career in the information technology field, with many of those years feeling dreadfully unfulfilling,  I realized that my passion lied in creativity. I thought, what better field is there, in the middle of my life, to leave a well-paying career for other than the arts? So I took the plunge, went back to school to study art and photography, and never looked back.

​

As the photo/video technician at Cal Poly SLO, I now get to mix my passion for teaching with my deep understanding of technology and photography. Helping students achieve their creative goals is something that gives me great joy.

​

In my own creative practice, I love to create cinematic and dramatic scenes using complex lighting either in studio or on-location.
