My teaching career began at Los Angeles Trade Tech, followed by Art Center College of Design, Glendale Community College, Burbank Unified School District, Brooks Institute, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, LAAFA and wyzant.com. Teaching allows me to be in the service of others and to that end I wrote my first book : Build A Better Photograph, A Disciplined Approach To Creativity 

My radio show: Build A Better Photograph

Two reviews of my book: digitalapplejuice.com/build-photograph-disciplined-book-rocky-nook/ and www.mymac.com/showarticle.php
