I started D& D Maintenance to be a sub-contractor. I primarily worked for Royal Builders. My first major project with them was a twelve thousand square foot house in Fox Glen. Where I worked on anything from laboring, setting steel, rough and finish carpentry. I worked on that house from start to finish.

Photo Assistant / Lab Tech. - Sr. Photographer
ETM Studios Inc.
1980 - 1996 (16 years)
When I started with ETM Studios I was a photo assistant and their lab technician. I would run all film and maintain their E-6 and B&W Hope roller transport systems. I would start my day cleaning and maintaining the processers, running control strips to maintain a smooth color balance. When this was achieved, I then would assist the photographers helping anyone who needed it. I quickly moved up to junior photographer and was shooting my own tool layouts. I kept on moving up to become one of their best photographers. In 1996 I left ETM to open up my own business.

Photo Assistant
Ulf Askenas Studio
1978 - 1979 (1 year)
I worked at Ulf Askenas Studio, part time while I was going to school at Ray Vogue. My duties were assisting photographers, checking in merchandise, developing film and pretty much anything they could think of. I left there when I graduated, because they didn't have enough work to put me on full time.
