about me

I have a very cool career, even if some call it a despicable profession. I’m an award-winning television news photojournalist for NBC News in Los Angeles—yeah, I know. Media. But it’s been a fascinating career. My coverage has taken me around the world, from Olympic games to political elections; from Pope John Paul’s last North American visit to major news events like Columbine and 9/11. Outside of news, I had the pleasure of working as principal photographer on several episodes of the half hour weekly show Travel Cafe, shooting in Fiji, Hong Kong, and Kauai, to name a few. I also completed a documentary on nationally renowned artist, Milford Zornes—one of the coolest human beings I’ve ever met. Man! I want to be like him when I’m 90.

In the writing realm, my novel MOTOR DOLLS is my passion project. I was signed with an agent, who had me convert to YA, but the novel never really worked YA and the publishers agreed. I've now converted it back to adult, and will focus on the emerging "New Adult" category. I’ve had two short stories published, one about a girl who thinks she’s the reincarnated soul of a shi-tzu, the other about a girl who dreams of being a fish. Yep. My two weirdest stories. That’s what got published. The fish story was even chosen as the feature story in Flash Me magazine. Someday I'll get to shopping my other four novels.

I'm a founding member of the GASOLINE GIRLS car club, a group of girls who love to wrench their vintage rides. I live in Southern California with my best feller, twenty-four motorcycles, three cars, and my super cool ’48 Ford Truck named Bondorella.
