I’m a commercial photographer based in Southern California, working with brands across product, lifestyle, and outdoor/active markets.

Before going out on my own, I spent 25 years as a designer (11 of that as Creative/Art Director at crankbrothers), where I handled everything visual – packaging, print, campaigns, and photo direction. That experience taught me how to build a brand’s story, which eventually took me behind the camera.

These days my work splits into two styles that keep things interesting: clean, minimal studio product photography, and a more raw and gritty approach for lifestyle and on-location shoots. I’ve always been drawn to images that feel raw and a little imperfect with a nod to the days of film. That balance keeps the work fresh and gives brands creative options.

Outside the studio, my background includes years as a competitive speed skater (on ice), training at the US Olympic Training Center and with Canada’s international program at the Olympic Oval. (Yes, I raced Apolo Ohno.)

I’m also a graduate of the Alberta College of Art & Design (B.Des).

Riding bikes is still a big part of my life – training, racing now and then, and the places bikes take me continue to shape how I work.
