I'm a photographer, writer, and editor based out of Oakland, California. I love photographing a wide variety of subjects, but I particularly enjoy taking pictures of people. At present I work as a freelance photojournalist, writer, and Head Photo Editor of the Daily Californian, Berkeley's paper of record.

Previously, I have written about the history of physics and the philosophy of science in a Berkeley Scientific Journal article you can read here (page 41). I've also covered my home state of California for the Berkeley Political Review, writing about California's drought and the United Farm Workers.

I cover local events and city politics in Richmond for the Richmond Pulse. Recently, I profiled and interviewed Richmond's mayoral candidates. You can read my work for the most recent issue of the Pulse here.

When I'm not working you can usually find me outdoors, often in a hammock or on a motorcycle - two places where I find peace.
