About the Organizer:

My career as a photographer began as little more than a rewarding hobby carried over from childhood. My dad taught me to use an old Canon when I was 10 years old and I've been hooked ever since. Later, I was working in the corporate sector as a graphic designer and branding consultant, making plenty of money, feeling unfulfilled, and seeking solace in weekend photography gigs and photo clubs. Soon, I was looking for ways to ditch work for photo gigs without getting caught. It took a couple of family tragedies to wake me up and decide it was time for a change... and with that, I quit my job, packed up my life and moved across the country to Seattle for a fresh start. My goal was to start a new life entirely devoted to photography and creative collaboration.

Along the way I discovered two things... 1. Building a new business is probably the hardest thing I will ever do with my life. I often work 20 hours a day, building and maintaining personal relationships has become a challenge, and there is little time for personal creative growth. Occasionally, I ask myself if job fulfillment is really worth all the strife... that is until I'm reminded of the second major discovery I've made on this journey... 2. Teaching is the most rewarding and fulfilling vocation I have ever engaged in. This is what lights my fire and carries me through the 20-hour days and the fear of going broke. I have found such joy and happiness in teaching, and facilitating a community of photographers, that I can no longer imagine doing anything else with my life.

I've always thought of myself as an artist working in various mediums such as graphic design, music, photography, and others. Of course, I still love creating things and will continue to do so. Now I've discovered a new love for developing a community and a learning environment, collaborating with other creative minds, and challenging others to explore their creative depths through workshops and meetups.
