About it all
Born in Fresno, California in 1973, I grew up in the small farming community of Easton, where I attended American Union Elementary School and formally introduced to photography by the annual advisor Lynn Scheel in 1987. I graduated from Washington Union High School in 1992 were I worked as photography editor for the high school news paper "The Hatchet" and Progess Annual under the mentorship of Ed Galdrikian. In 1992 I also recieved Honorable Mention for photographs at the National High School Journalism Conference in Denver, Co. During this time I also began photographing local events and news for the Caruther and Easton community news paper The Twin City Times and began working for Fotech Color Labs in Fresno, Ca. I was soon employed full time as staff photographer by Central California Publishing which produced four newspapers including The Twin City Times, Lemoore Advance, Coalinga Record and The Golden Eagle (NAS Lemoore), all the while attending Fresno City College majoring in Photography and Criminology.
In 1995 I was employed by Ritz Camera Centers in Fresno, and in 1997 was hired by the Police Department as a Police Cadet assigned to the Crime Scene Bureau. In 1998 I was promoted to Crime Scene Technician. I now train new technicians photography and crime scene investigation. I worked my way through the ranks and in 2009, I was a key player in the establishment of the department’s digital photography program and am frequently called upon to do special photographic assignments including the Police Department annual report, and special project requests by PD staff and Chief of Police.
Personally I enjoy shooting everything that comes my way now. I strive to branch out and flourish in anyway this photographic journey will take me.
