ABout me
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I'm happy to call this city home. Traveling all over this planet to amazing places I've never been is something I live for. When I'm not on a trip, you can guarantee I'm planning one with my wife and/or friends. I consider myself very lucky to have a job that excites me every day. I have a strong passion not just for photography and storytelling but for being creative in any aspect. Connecting with clients to learn about what and why they do is one of my favorite parts of the process.
My affection for photography started at a very young age, long before digital cameras. Shooting 110 film as a child and having my parents get it developed at the local drug store is an early memory that I cherish. Moving on to 35mm film and then to medium format, I honed my skills. I built a darkroom in my parents' basement and spent countless hours there developing film and prints. It was definitely a place I loved to be.I could not have imagined back then that I would have my own business, where people want to hire me to use a camera. I do not take that for granted. This business has taught me so much and given me so many incredible experiences. I can't wait to see what's next.
