About Me

Wait… you’re actually reading this? M…kay…

I am a professional headshot photographer based in Los Angeles, CA. I hail from Fairfax, VA, just outside of Washington D.C., but I’ve called Southern California home for over 25 years.

Growing up, I loved performing – but was unsure about making it a career. While I stuffed that dream down… I taught ice hockey to kids during the day. But at night I still dreamed of being an actor… and chocolate cake.

I then toyed with a career in graphic design – studying the craft and working a bit in that field. However, my heart kept yearning to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

After realizing I couldn’t get a TV deal performing in front of the security cameras at my local bank, I packed up my Ford Taurus and cried my way to Los Angeles with dreams of being a TV star. 

Once in Los Angeles, I studied improv, sketch, and writing at the Groundlings Theatre. After 26+ years living and working in the LA industry, I’ve built a circle of friends that are like family. It’s been an incredible journey here in Hollywood, and I’m still crying. Kidding. I only cry sometimes.

Why Headshot photography? When the pandemic began, I found myself wanting to supplement my main business income. I’ve always been great at design, love actors, and taking pictures. I had built a self-tape studio with great lighting so started taking headshots for friends. I discovered I had a knack for it! So began the journey of studying headshot photography and gathering all equipment I would need to make a great headshot studio. With terrific feedback from clients and agents, I’m so excited to continue growing my client list.

Most important things you should know about me… I am a sincere, down to earth guy, I love making people laugh, I am obsessed with chocolate cake (I make my own from scratch), I love my fiancé (13 years engaged – We are trying to set a record), and I am a die-hard fan of the Washington Capitals. My fiancé won’t talk Hockey with me. So you are encouraged to bring up the topic.
