# About me
I was born in Hawaii and uprooted at a young age. I have grown to reflect upon my life visually through images from photographs. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of the world through my camera. My art is my photography.Recently, my work was been featured on CNN. On their travel section (photo of the day) and on their iReport front page. I was also recently featured on The Inertia website front page. The Inertia site is a very prestigious website for a lot of professional surfers. My work has also been published on the front covers of Kauai, Maui, Lanai, Hawaii and Molokai Hawaiian Telcom Yellow Pages 3 years in a row with millions of front cover exposure. Articles have also been written in the The Real Word Magazine and I'm currently in the works for a 12 page article featured in the Digital Photographer Magazine in the Ukraine.
I have many pieces of my art in various venues, restaurants, and galleries in the state of Hawaii. I am constantly driven to get that better shot. It isnβt just taking pictures, it is capturing true art from the beauty of the world and people.
