My passion for photography began at a young age. In high school, I was promoted to chief artist and photographer for the school newspaper, cutting my teeth covering everything from chess club championships to volleyball games. Those early experiences taught me how to see stories unfolding in real time and sparked a lifelong fascination with capturing authentic human moments.

After college, I set out to see the world through the lens of my Canon and, of all things, joined the U.S. Navy. Following my graduation from the esteemed U.S. Navy Schools of Photography, I spent five years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, honing my skills in dynamic and challenging environments. My work led to a prestigious assignment with the White House Communications Agency in Washington, D.C., where I served, traveling overseas twice with the President.

After my service in Washington, I continued my career stateside, creating visual campaigns for leading agencies across the Southwest and expanding my craft into commercial, lifestyle, and portrait photography.

I find I’m at my best when working in a natural, fluid environment, where I can move intuitively around the subject and capture the image at the precise moment of inspiration—the instant when light, expression, and emotion align perfectly.
