About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working on my Dual/bach in Journalism/Photography

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Jerry, I'm originally from NYC. After college I decided cubicles weren't really my style so I joined the Marine Corps to get a broader perspective on the world. When I got out of the military in 2007 I took up free lance photography and stayed in San Diego; I was and still am captivated by the perfect weather. A couple of my passions are Surfing, Guitar, Piano, Motorcycles, Photography, Writing, Literature, Yoga and Adventure Seeking. My plans are to attend UCLA film school in the fall of 2011, until then, I'm planning to travel and expand my portfolio (Machu Picchu & Galapagos).

PHILOSOPHY

Live and evolve.
