About

I am an environmental and cultural photographer based in Austin, Texas.

I was raised in El Paso, Texas. Moving to Boston in 1967, I attend MIT and then moved to Vermont and later New Hampshire. I returned to Texas in 2004. Professionally, I’ve worked in various capacities in graphic design, advertising and marketing. In 1986, I founded an offset printing company in Keene, NH. We grew to 18 employees with over one million in annual sales. I began to purse photography full time upon moving to Austin.

I earned a BA in PhotoCommunication from St. Edwards University, Austin in May 2007 completing a course of photographic study begun at MIT. There, I worked with both Minor White and Harold Edgerton. Minor was the poet, muse and spirit whose impact came from editing Aperture, organizing shows and especially teaching. Doc Edgerton, inventor of the strobe and high-speed photography, never ceased to be excited when showing someone high-speed phenomena for the first time. Those two sources, with their blend of technology and spirit drive my work.
