I am a transplant to Albuquerque. I am originally from a very small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, called Berlin. After graduation, I lived in Natal, Brasil for a little over 3 months prior to going to college in Virginia. I moved to Albuquerque in 1986 and I have been here since.

I have had a camera near or with me for as long as I can remember. I officially started Desert Penguin Photos in February 2000 I have just completed my 9th year in business.

I started out doing landscapes and weddings and although I still occasionally do these types of photos, my true love is alternative/fetish/erotic photography. My idols are Helmut Newton and Eric Kroll. I am also a huge fan of Midori's shibari work. In 2005, I also started working in modeling photography. In 2006, I published "Fetish Erotica: A Photo Collection." I am currently working on my second book.

I recently became a co-founder of The Wooden Cow Gallery and Art Space in Albuquerque, NM and I have some of my work on display there as well.
