My Grandfather taught me how to use a camera at an early age and it is a tool that I continue to carry with me. I wouldn't consider myself a photographer but it's a skill I use consistently in my creative work. While studying at Columbia College Chicago I worked at Central Camera Chicago. At this ancient institution of cameras I learned an in depth knowledge about the film process. I believe that being comfortable behind the lens gives me the natural ability to communicate with photographers when in the role of Art Director.
