I was born in Michigan and love any sports involving Michigan teams.  Go Red Wings!  I'm half Greek.  My first car was a 1965 Mustang.

I liked the creative arts throughout school from attempting to play the alto sax (3rd chair) to making a rocket that sat on the launch pad while my classmates (and I) waited for the never-to-occur flight.  I'm still waiting...

Using a camera, I produced a few images that made people stop and take notice.  "Wow, I wonder what effect I could create if I knew what I was doing..."  This realization led to learning how to process film and print black & white.  Magic! - watching the image come to life was a sight to behold and I was hooked.

Working in a factory was financially rewarding, but did little to feed my creative side.  So I made a decision to learn more of photography and go to school.  I had two choices - New York or California ... California!  Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara.  After attending Brooks, I moved with my young family to Northern California in 1984.  I waited tables and did photography very part time until I took a job as an assistant in a commercial photography studio.  "Go bring all that stuff in here and get it set up while I schmooze the client."  I became a sponge for how it's done in the real world and outside a classroom.

Presently I photograph thousands of people annually and provide services to numerous corporations.  Some include Hewlett Packard, LSI Logic, Apple, Dell, Stanford University and a handful of international clients.

I hope you enjoy viewing my galleries and select me for your next project.
