about

background:
im a simple easy going person… have always had a passion for nature and the outdoors… grew up in the pacific north west… spent a lot of my younger years camping and photographing everything i possible could.

i had a lot of great photography influences in my younger years… my father always had such a great eye for photography, composition and depth…  my high school photography teacher rob behm pushed me to college in one field trip to the photo labs at the falls community college were i met ira gardner who was fearless in his field… told me stories about him starting out and knew thats what i wanted…

3 years later i graduated from brooks institute of photography. i majored in professional photography and interactive multimedia and design. after college i got a great job as a photo editor for wireimage in hollywood, after that i was a digital technician for markus klinko & indrani in hollywood and manhattan, and then moved on to adlink/time warner in santa monica where i was an interactive multimedia designer… and finally moved further south to san diego where we started mauth studios.

nature and the environment:
the environment is a passion of mine that i try to make better with everyday… im always looking for progressive ways to re-use, re-duce, re-cycle and do so with as little waste as possible… a while back i saw that flash and online marketing was a great way for me to do my part everyday as my career… preventing waste in a lot of industries.

style:
i like old things… made well with good re-usable materials…i wish the days brought more metal riveted plaques and less stickers… back then people took pride in their products… i try and do the same… im trying to sell you and your work to your viewers… i put great thought into each project to make sure its going to last and be a great foundation to add to later on.

i prefer to use negative space in a positive way to add balance and composition to my design style… i see things simple yet sophisticated… if it doesn’t add to it i remove it… i know from experience that your work and information needs to be highlighted in a website not just added into a website… im a believer that information needs to be clear and navigation should be predictable for the viewer so they already know what to do when they get there.0

work:
im punctual, dependable, and fast… i love what i do so im pretty motivated to create what you need to the fullest… from custom work to simple work… i love working with other creative people… marketing agencies, marketing directors, artists, photographers, businesses, corporations… with that said i feel i’m pretty good with constructive criticism ;)
