About me

My journey on the path to becoming a photographer started in 2004 in Prescott, AZ, where I originally set out to become a pilot. Soaring high above the ground has given me a new perspective on familiar sights - they drew me in, stirred senses, and captivated my mind. I knew I had to instill those images to memory and share when my feet were on the ground. This time of my life made me become very fond of aerial photography.

Fast forward several years, I, now a college graduate with a degree in aeronautical science, have ended up on the East coast right next to the nation's capital with my camera attached to my side. My interest through the lens has extended to automotive photography which has greatly refined my technical skills. I have mastered the art of composition, layering, and light manipulation thanks to working with these exotic automobiles. My creative touch while utilizing programs such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, and Premiere Pro, as well as using these newfound techniques, made my pictures stand out dramatically. Over the next several years I've improved my photography and editing skills significantly and earned recognition among clients and fellow photographers. Simultaneously, I've been traveling around the world; I've ventured with my trusty camera through the wilderness of Siberia, Icelandic badlands, twisted streets of Amsterdam and lovely Europe, mellow beaches of the Caribbean and many other unfamiliar places. I was fascinated by the newly discovered sights and breathtaking images I brought home from these journeys. I have found myself and a life-long passion in landscape photography over the many years and have made it my mission to pass this love and skill-set on to you. I look forward to having you become an ApertureXplorer with me!
