Affiliations and Achievements
Professional Photographers of America, Master Artist
Professional Photographers of California, Master Photographer
Striving for personal and creative excellence is a huge priority for me, and can not be achieved without the influence, support and affiliation of fine photographic associations. I am very proud to be a member of the following:
- Professional Photographers of America
- Professional Photographers of California
- Professional Photographers of Orange County
As a result of my involvement and participation in their sponsored print competitions, I have been fortunate to have earned a number of prestigious awards. Most recently, I was awarded as a Platinum and Diamond Medalist at the International Print Competition, in which 10 percent were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection, published in a showcase book by Marathon Press. I am grateful to continue a path of excellence as a photographic artist.
