I am a Dallas-based photographer who has been shooting professionally since 2002. I got my start with this type of photography due to a few of my model friends wanting to find a photographer they could trust and felt comfortable with. I worked with models, bands, burlesque troupes, car shows, and other events for many years and got published in a few magazines and websites.

Soon after, I was asked by an editor to be the official photographer for MetroANE Magazine, and my good reputation led to me being asked to become the photographer for “The Clubhouse,” a rock-themed gentleman’s club in Dallas owned by members of Pantera. I was a big fan of Pantera, so it was a dream job doing what I love (though a nightmare at times) — I loved it nonetheless.

Sadly, the majority owner shut it down and rented it out to a group who changed the format, so I am back to being self-employed — kinda starting over, since that job took up 99% of my time for 5 years, besides sleep.

You can see my work in Guitar World, Gloom Magazine, MetroANE Magazine, Lit Magazine, The Valentine’s Failures album art, Town² Magazine, fIXE Magazine, and other websites and publications.
