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.
