I majored in Photography but also studied Art History, History, and Aesthetics. Since graduation, I founded and ran Artists' Photographic Resource, 1987-90 (a Photography Gallery, Darkroom, and Photographic Resource Cooperative), and have worked as a Freelance Photographer, Filmmaker, Actor, Videographer, Music Producer, Graphic Designer, Screenwriter, and Architectural & Landscape Designer. I also taught Art Photography at Mount Hood Community College. (1999-00)

Some of the companies and clients I have done work for include CBS/Hallmark, USA Networks, Ascention Entertainment, Fred Meyer, Nike, Nordstroms, Meyer & Frank, Portland Community College, The Rose Festival Association, AWSEM, The Confederate Airforce (a historical aircraft preservation society), Sharp, and KOIN TV.

I also have a full length feature film, "Mirage", which I began filming on Aug. 25, 2001. I had a few problems in Post Production which are in the process (finally) of being resolved and I hope to have it ready for release this (2006) fall.

It is set in and around Burns, OR and around Steen's Mt. and the Alvord Desert. I am currently in the sound editing stage. I wrote the screenplay during the summer of 2000. Its a story in which things (and people) aren't always quite what they seem. It has moments of Action and Drama with a few twists.

I Also shot several Short Films ("Promise to the Dissapeared" and "Mularkey") last summer and Acted in the CBS/Hallmark production of "The Valley of Light" and a mid level budgeted film "The Music Within" for an independant production company this winter.

I am currently wrapping up shooting a "Mockumentary" short, "The Evocotive Moments of Randal Boyd" about a failed artist written and directed by my good friend Tim Planigan and several other projects that are in development.
