I am a budding landscape photographer with a large and organic following through social media. My photos have been featured on websites, like Oregon.gov, numerous landscape photography hubs on Instagram, and purchased by a large Florida group for display in their offices.
I was born in New York where I stayed throughout high school. After a brief flirtation with higher education, I realized my calling was hardcore music. So, I went on the road with a band from Brooklyn, Shutdown, and began writing and publishing Trydent Fanzine about this music scene and the people in it. In fact, I was so immersed in hardcore that I was asked to join other New Yorkers as the vocalist / screamer for the band they were forming. We went on to international fame and not much fortune but enjoyed four round-the-world trips performing.
Fast forward about seven years and the break-up of the band, I moved from NYC to Seattle where I spent six years as a bartender at the world-renowned cocktail bar, ZigZag Café, under the tutelage of Murray Stenson, a legendary mixologist. I proved to be a great student, as was nominated for American Bartender of the Year in 2012.
Today, I make my home in Mosier, OR… spending my days as a trail runner, outdoor adventurer, marathoner, ultra-runner, and sweeper. I thrive in the mountains and capture the beauty of the great Northwest in my amazing photos
