I hail from Crown Point, Indiana, nestled in the northwest corner of the state, just about an hour's drive from the lively city of Chicago.

From 2007 to 2018, I called Florida home while pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration at Ringling College of Art and Design.

In 2017, feeling a bit creatively stagnant, I decided to shake things up and give photography a shot. It quickly became my obsession.

Throughout my photography journey, I've had the opportunity to photograph interiors and various products for clients, but my true passion has always been capturing images of people.

Although I've always been drawn to artistic expression, photography was a breath of fresh air. It tapped into a desire I didn't even realize I had, and it's given me a level of satisfaction that other mediums just couldn't match.
