When I was a teenager I was scouted by Vancouver Agency Richards Models . This was my first real introduction to the world of Photography. I travelled to Vancouver several times over the next couple of years; but decided focus on education instead of a modelling career.
After graduating High School, I enrolled in the Digital Film course at the Centre for Arts and Technology. I spent the next 2 years developing technical knowledge and film skills that would later benefit my Photography path greatly. After receiving my degree, I started my own production company named Lex Media and would produce several corporate films and small business commercials for clients in the Okanagan and Vancouver Island.
In 2008 I took a break from Video Production and took on a position at Shaw Communications and volunteered once a week at the local Shaw TV channel. I later become involved in creating Shaw's first Social Media team and have been involved in Analytics, Marketing and Community Development.
In 2012, I decided it was time to return to original passion but wanted to try something a little different. At the time I was also involved in the local Indie Game Developer Community Full Indie as their Community Manager, and needed some photos for the website from different events. I picked up a Canon T3i package, started shooting and haven't stopped.
Currently I am shooting evenings and weekends in my home studio or around English Bay. My girlfriend and incredible model Megan Babee has been an inspiration to my photography and has helped me develop connections in the community. I am also part of local photography group The Group Photo and online photo communities on Reddit and Model Mayhem.
