Personal History: I meditated in the woods as a small child and studied classical dance from a young age. I was naturally talented at sports, but was most interested in physical activities that included a body/mind connection. Classical dance and yoga resonated with me and I absorbed the practices and disciplines of both growing up. I modeled with Ford models when I moved to New York City. Most jobs I shot were of me doing yoga or dancing. Whether or not the original concept called for it, I liked to stretch and dance in between shots and something with movement usually made the final image cut. I created a popular video series with Ford Models called "Yoga For" where I demonstrated yoga routines for everything from hangovers to tight hamstrings.
