About Me

I was born in Cyprus, a beautiful island in the Mediterranean – “A Golden-Leaf Thrown In the Sea”. It was the beautiful colors, the blue sky and the calm seas on that island that first inspired me as a photographer. My formal higher education is in Business and Technology and in 2001 I founded COMMbits Inc. Along with a small group of professionals we are passionate about providing state-of-the-art websites and IT solutions to SMBs. Other than photography, my other passion is the study of the martial arts and I am a holder of a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Since 1998 I live in Toronto, Canada with my beautiful wife Jeannie, amazing daughter Paress, our beloved dog Ginger and Twitty, our albino cocktail. Our oldest dog, Issy, passed away in April, 2012. More on me on my personal blog.
