I have been working as a professional photographer and designer for more than 40 years. During that time I've worn many hats and explored a diverse range of interests including, video based immersive art experiences, book design and publication, sports and travel photography, owner of Fusion Artspace gallery and Future Light Digital, a photographic training and consulting business. I have been drawn to the creative experience my whole life, and the passion to share that experience with students through a multidisciplinary approach.
