About

I’m an entertainment retoucher with a photographer’s soul. My work tells stories rendered in pure light. Because, at the end of the day, it’s all about the light. Capturing it. Refining it. Harnessing it to create mood. Theme. Stories. I have worked in the entertainment ad industry for the last 30 years.

Graduated from Art Center College of Design with a BS in Photography. My undergraduate study was in Art History/Studio Arts minor from San Francisco State University.

I’ve had the privilege to live in Italy and France throughout my career. Now I call California my home.
