Born in California, I’ve grown up in Virginia, where my parents led in church leadership. From the moment I was given a photography camera, I remember enjoying using it as a way to capture from my observations of unique moments and the people around me since I couldn't draw certain things very well. This has led to a photography portfolio and continued interest within photography and visual storytelling.

 

I enjoy working with other people to create meaningful experiences, share my creative perspective, tell stories, and create work that is visually appealing + truthfully portrayed.  I earned my Eagle Scout in 2014 (the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouts of America for service & leadership which was presented to about 4% of Scouts that year). I believe in that philosophy of being prepared and doing a good turn daily. I was involved in youth leadership roles and instructed outdoor programs, including archery as a USA Level 1 Archery instructor. As a graduate from Regent University with a bachelors degree in communications, I had the opportunity to work with award-winning student filmmakers on film productions and was involved in different organizations on campus including:  Regent University Student Alumni Ambassadors, Photography Club, CinemaScope, and contributed some photography for The Daily Runner and Regent University Marketing.
