She used to be one of those people who would tell you she loved to travel but hadn’t really been anywhere but in the time we’ve been together we’ve covered everywhere from Italy to Hawaii for weddings and true to her word it’s one of her favorite things in life.

We both love food and we’ll eat cheap every meal of a trip just to have one really fancy dinner. Her favorite restaurant is one we literally stumbled upon while in San Francisco called Citizen Cake… ask her to tell you about that dinner and watch her eyes light up.

I love coffee, photography, technology, all things fine art and I’ll tell you anything you want to know over a scotch and a really nice cigar.

She loves all things dark chocolate… at Christmas she turns into a full-fledged candy maker and everything from pretzels to Oreos are coated in the stuff to give away in her famous holiday boxes. If you need to lift her spirits Dark Chocolate M&M’s are a must.

I have wanderlust for all of America’s national parks, I’ve been to dozens and it’s a lifetime project to photograph all of them with my dad. Last year we spent a week camping in Arches N.P. and I really got a dose of what astrophotography is all about and since then I’ve even found a way to let that seep into my portraits. To tell the truth though the trips are mostly about disconnecting from the world and spending time with my dad.
