Started originally in 2002 as a contract-for-hire company, offering a variety of technical, computer and graphic services, DotStar Studios continues today as more of an artistic graphics and photography company, allowing me more time to focus on things I want to do rather than out of necessity -- fueling my passion for photography and creativity and an outlet for my creativity, while providing opportunities to pursue projects I would like to work on. Most of what I photograph would be considered artistic photography but I try not to limit myself to one particular subject. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.

With well over 20 years of professional experience, my background and skills include Architectural Design, Programming, Database, Web Design, Graphic Layout/Illustration, Photography ... and more. I have worked with some well known companies -- Google, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Epsilon, Data Axle -- and the current day job is managing a technical operations team for a leisure & recreation company. Born and raised in Colorado but I also love to travel when given the opportunities to do so -- my photography often reflects both of these.
