I grew up in the California foothills with a camera slung around my neck. My family spent their summers vacationing in Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and Cambria. By the time I completed High School, there was only one part of the world I wanted to live — San Luis Obispo! With camera in hand, I began school at Cal Poly graduating with a major in Sociology and minors in Graphic Arts/Photography, Education, Geography and Nutrition six years later.

And to be a little less sappy — I also love wine, cooking, cyclingnews.com, figuring out near impossible lighting setups, single speed mountain bikes, chips and salsa, brie with crackers and caramelized onions, the perfect margarita with just a touch of salt, and knowing when I click the shutter that I captured a perfect moment.
