DIGITAL SWISS ARMY KNIFE - I started shooting photography and video in 1998 with a true passion for capturing moments in time. My passion started in film, but with only one person I found my outlet in photography. I continued my academic career by earning an MBA from Cal State Long Beach, in-order to integrate a professional business approach to my art. That experience gave me the hands-on experience in both the business and creative sides of digital media.
A nerd at heart, I started my career at a multimedia agency, building websites for feature films and talent, such as George Lopez. I then moved on to produce programming for GoTV Networks. Shortly after that I managed the production of mobile applications for Myspace, Viddy, SPINmedia, and Technicolor & Dreamworks. Most recently I've been working in product management for iOS apps at Apple. I continue to shoot photography/film and have shot for the likes of Jim Carrey, Linkin Park, and All American Rejects, to name a few.
