I have been photographing since I was kid and discovered my dad’s Minolta 35mm. From there I took photography classes in high school, worked a part-time job at a photo store, and later graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s in Imaging & Photographic Technology. Today, photography resides in every facet of my personal and professional life, especially lately, as I transition to photography as a full-time career. I feel lucky with where I’m at, what I’ve learned, and the talent that I have.

I strive for my photography to evoke a strong feeling or mood that comes from a unique perspective on the world around us. One of my favorite themes is the concept of “past life.” Examining textures, objects, and scenes that have an aura of a forgotten vibrance and life. All of my work exhibits my penchant for bold contrast and color, and an exacting attention to detail and simplicity.
