: About Me

I am currently a freelance writer, photographer and organic coffee roaster living in Northern California.

Being raised in a small town on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California provided me with a deep love for the beauty in nature. This love has continued into adulthood and is often the inspiration for both my photography and my writing.

My career path has been diverse and has included the sports, fitness and consumer software and internet industries. I hold a Master's of Arts Degree in Sports and Fitness Management from the University of San Francisco and am currently working towards my Master's in Fine Arts in Photography at Academy of Art University.
