I was born and raised around Los Angeles, California (but “my people” come from Louisiana).  I graduated from Junipero Serra High School and the California State University at Long Beach.  At CSULB I majored in Radio and Television and minored in English, Creative Writing.

I’m a Broadcast News Photographer for CBS2 and KCAL9. When I go to work each day, I never really know for sure where I’m going to end up.  My assignment could take me just around the corner or I could find myself on a plane on my way to somewhere else in the world.  Either way, I get a big kick that my job is always a roll of the dice.

I’ve always loved what I do and consider myself very lucky that I often get to witness events that will be remembered as important parts of history.  Having carried a still camera pretty much wherever I go on the job, I’ve gotten the opportunity to photograph moments behind the scenes of many of the stories that have led the newscast.  Plus, I’ve also had the opportunity to shoot candid shots of the people in front of and behind the camera who bring you the news of the day.  Capturing moments in time, that’s what thrills me and drives me to keep doing what I do.

Sure, there are other ambitions I have in life.  Becoming a News Photographer in Los Angeles is just one goal I worked towards and successfully achieved.  It’s what I wanted to do and I’m proud of that.  If I can always keep finding a moment to snap a still picture during the course of my day, well, I’ll always be content and I guess I don’t need to change a thing.
