About me
I am a professional photographer located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in live event photography of all types and travel all over the country photographing weddings, car shows, modeling events, conventions, racing events, celebrity events and more.

My newest project is www.CarShowIllustrated.com (or www.CSIpics.com)

I conceived and Co-founded CarAndModel.com in 2001 (The largest site of its kind in the world with over 195,000 registered members in 2008) and was the Director and Editor-in-Chief until 11/08 when it was sold along with HIN Events (CarAndModel.com is currently offline with the new owners). I was the Director of Photography for Hot Import Nights and from 2002 to November 2008 and I managed a contract photographer staff of over 50 photographers. The HIN Tour has over 20 shows nationwide each year and is the largest car show tour of its type with over 300,000 attendees each year. I have personally photographed over 130 HIN related events since 2002 in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. in addition to 170+ events like NASCAR, NHRA, Playboy Mansion and Glamourcon, D1 Grand Prix, Formula Drift, Barrett Jackson, Consumer Electronics Show, SEMA Show, World of Wheels, AVN/AEE and many more.

I’m currently available for projects in all 50 U.S. states. Please contact me for a quote. I also have access to over dozens of photographers nationwide for large projects.

My emphasis is on quality and style. Anyone can take a picture, but all photographers are not created equal. I'm very good at what I do and I've been doing it for many years professionally.


Note: I only add people as friends on Model Mayhem that I actually know, so please don't request me to add you if we've never even met. If I've requested you as a MM friend, it means I'm interested in photographing and/or working with you.
