About Me

“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.”

— Jonathan Swift


Self Talk

I wear many hats, I have a heavy interest in graphic design, photography, and videography. I was born in raised in Cleveland, OH finding my love for athletics at an early age due to competing as an athlete for most of my life.

When I'm not working on my craft, you'll find me at the gym, hanging out with friends, or playing video games (Ghost of Tsushima is my current obsession). I consume an unhealthy amount of anime because I really enjoy watching cartoons in my adulthood. This is Us is probably some of the best television I have ever watched, anything that can pull on your heart strings with every episode deserves all the awards. 

The most important thing to know about me is I'm a foodie. Food is my best friend. I am the happiest when I'm eating, anything made out of a potato is my favorite. 

I wouldn't be where I am today without the support of my family. I didn't grow up with the most expensive things but I grew up surrounded in love and support. A family who has supported all my dreams no matter how crazy or unattainable they seemed, stood by me through all storms and encouraged me. Saying my family is my world is an understatement, they are the reason why I breathe and wake up each morning loving the life I live.

Artist Talk

My work focuses on being engulfed in the moment. I love the atmosphere sports has to bring. I'm addicted to the adrenaline, no work day is the same. Every game is different and the uncertainty of what will happen is incredible to me. You just have no idea what moment you are about to capture. I'm not just a sports buff, I love landscapes and I have a guilty pleasure of doing family photography or newborn baby photos. 

my Pinterest consumption of creative media from all industries is a little unhealthy. I'm always looking for inspiration. I want to stand out and be the best so I work tirelessly to achieve this feat.

I love art that makes you feel something. I love capturing that emotion and showing sports from a different perspective than just capturing action. I want you to look at my photos and feel as though you were there, experiencing that win, or seeing feeling that loss. 

Now, although I am a sports buff. I appreciate all industries, creating is my passion and I would love the opportunity to create for you no matter what the project is.
