I am an amateur photographer, living in Goleta, California. Goleta is West of Santa Barbara and is the true location of the University of California Santa Barbara. My family is from Philadelphia and I grew up in Pennsylvania. I attended Moravian Academy in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for six years, and I went on to Boston College, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. During my junior year of college, I studied in Fribourg, Switzerland and travelled extensively throughout Europe. After college, I lived in San Francisco for three years, working in law libraries and taking classes at Berkeley. I moved to Santa Barbara to attend graduate school and earned a Master of Arts degree in History. After finishing graduate school, I pursued my interests in surfing and playing bass guitar. I am currently employed as a librarian and I am enrolled in the Santa Barbara College of Law.

Lately, my interest has "focussed" on photography, and I have studied at the Photographic Institute in Goleta. For the most part, I have been photographing landscapes and flowers. I mostly admire the work of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, but I am frequently impressed by other photographers work.
