What's up! I'm stoked you're here.
This site is a conglomeration of my passions coming together - framing the dream I've strived toward since I was 14 years old. It all started in a small bar in KC shooting for a local rapper. With a few strokes of luck and hard work, I found myself on stage with icons I had previously imagined only seeing from the crowd. In the years since, my camera and beat-up Toyota Highlander, Robert, have taken me on unforgettable adventures.
What's now 7 years of photography has allowed me amazing opportunities to photograph NCAA, Major League Soccer & The United States Men's National Team. Before Covid, I spent two years in the music industry, shooting over 100 bands as a house photographer at the Truman Theater, while working independently for Midwest acts. Across the years I have consistently contracted food shoots under restaurants, as well as frequent portraiture, wedding & engagement photography, as well as film.
I feel lucky every day that I get to combine my job with nature. My passion has given me the opportunity to travel to 8 countries, 30 states, and more national parks than I can keep track of. I grew up in Kansas, which is where my love of nature and wildlife photography began, but college at Loyola University Chicago the past three years has furthered my appreciation of an entirely new culture; and the knowledge that I am not meant to be a city boy. As soon as a break from school comes around, my first instinct is to hop in the Highlander and head for the mountains.
I’ve come to love hitting the road alone. Times I have spent independently in nature & engaging with indigenous tribes have taught me many personal lessons - lessons I reflect on every day. Stories are not only made up of words on paper, but they are also moments captured through a lens. I have met a variety of people from all walks of life, and they have imparted another life lesson: Everyone has a unique and equally important story that deserves to be shared. No matter the occasion, the mission for each shot is to tell that story artistically & professionally. My promise to you is to tell your story through my photography, bringing your audience closer to your brand.
Let's create something different.
