I was BORN AND RAISED IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, into a family of musicians where the creative energy was flowing all throughout the house.  It seemed only natural that over the years, my appreciation for live rock music blossomed into an interest in concert photography.  photography has been a way for me to share the way I see the world with others, and even though pictures are worth a thousand words, I also enjoy writing. 

Although I have yet to pick up an instrument of my own, I love music with a lot of guitars.  Some of my favorite bands include Rush, The Replacements, Goo Goo Dolls, Bob Mould, Poison, and Dokken, to name a few.

I am also an avid animal lover, and recently graduated from veterinary school at Colorado State University.  As you may imagine, I also love taking photographs of animals and nature.
