I regularly speak at workshops. My workshop topics vary from camera basics to sports photography tips, to career-focused workshops.

I am honored to have had my work featured in national exhibits such as the Smithsonian Institute - National Museum of the American Indian exhibit "Best in the World: Native Athletes in the Olympics" and local exhibits such as Lehrhaus Judaica's Building Jewish Bridges "This is Bay Area Jewry" celebrating the diversity of interfaith families.
I was previously part of the Olympus ambassador program as an Olympus Visionary. After being sold and rebranded to OM Digital solutions, I no longer regularly use Olympus/OMDS gear. For size, weight, and weather-sealing, I still believe micro-four-thirds is the best sensor format for most photography enthusiasts.
