I am a musician, photographer, and 3D artist in Houston, Texas. A classically trained flutist, I attended the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where I studied with Robert Cavally. I later graduated from North Texas State University with a degree in music. Since 1997, I have performed with Texas Jazz Central (a big band), with Fling (a flute-bass jazz duo), and with the World Music Ensemble (an accordion-cello-flute trio) in Houston.

I have studied photography with David Alan Harvey and Raul Touzon under the auspices of Santa Fe Workshops and National Geographic. The photos shown here were taken with a Canon EOS 20D camera. My solo photo exhibit, Animal Spirits, is on permanent display at the Texas Medical Center. I also do photomicrography and collect and restore vintage photographs.

In addition, I create 3D artworks in Bryce, Poser, xFrog, and XenoDream. My fractal art, made with UltraFractal software, is featured on a companion site, Fractalissimo! My fractals are included in the book Illuminations, published by Celestial Arts in 2006. Some of my other fractal images have been used for brochures and program covers.

I designed and created both of my own websites, as well as the website for Texas Jazz Central.
