His photos did get published in the Bulldog once, but that was while at the U.H. and a Kaimuki High student asked to borrow one of his concert photos to go with her story. He got started in photography as a concert photographer.

Photography has allowed him to meet sports stars, rock stars, celebrities (O.J. Simpson has a super strong handshake, he could have done it), the everyday person young and old. He has gone to many places in Hawaii to bring it to people via photos, in submarines, hanging out of helicopters, on mountains, in mud, fires, lava, rain and snow.

He also works a lot with computers and was newspaper’s first webmaster (West Hawaii Today was the 2nd daily newspaper in Hawaii on the web, after the Maui News, the Garden Isle was first on the internet though via newsgroups).
