Technology Manager & Photographer
San Francisco Bay Area
By day, I am a technology manager. While not at work, I am usually thinking about photography, where to travel to next, about playing soccer, or fiddling around with a project or two on the “interwebs.”
I am always open for new ideas, suggestions and adventures. If you have any for me, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Photography: I can’t get enough of it. I’m obsessed with it. I am constantly looking for ways to improve and get the most out of it.
Photography is currently a side project, but I have a dream to do it all day every day and somehow make a living at it. I have just begun to put this dream together.
