My passion is people, so photography is a natural extension of myself.

I also have a strong eye for aesthetics, so graphic design is another one of my strong points.

Music is my first love.

I am 31 and married to a wonderful woman, who fights with Bi-polar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Social Anxiety and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

I have a beautiful daughter, Abrianna, who just turned one in April '07.

I have a son, David who is four as of Aug.'06 and whom also suffers from Early Onset Bi-Polar Disorder and Asperger's Disorder, a form of high-functioning Autism.

For the first time in my life, I am choosing to come out about my family's struggles, as living with all of this alone can be really hard.
