Thanks for checking out my work! I have been taking pictures since I was 7. I don’t go anywhere without my camera. Every day presents an opportunity to capture a great moment. My favorites are the subtle, everyday ones that tell relatable stories in a not-so-everyday way, while also leaving pieces to the imagination. When I am not shooting assignments or personal projects, I love playing tennis and spending time with my wife and as much time with my three amazing kids as I can before they grow up and fly away.
