I became interested in photography when I was about 10 years old, I ended up seizing the shutter on my parents manual Pentax camera during a Little League game. Granted that's not how I became interested in photography, but it is a memory that is still with me today! While in high school my photography interests took a back seat to athletic endeavors. A State Championship in Indoor Track and multiple top finishes in various Invitational Track Meets, my athletic career was going well until I tore my hamstring during the senior year baseball season. My hamstring still reminds me of that day, but it allowed me to rediscover a previous passion, photography while in college.
While in college I was like any student, coming in on a mission, but ending up changing majors once or twice. Luckily it allowed me to end up where I am today. Going from a pre-engineering student to a BFA was no easy task, but luckily my artistic talents came back while in college. While studying for my BFA in graphic design, I picked up a camera again as I knew it would help me finish projects ,not rely on stock photography and could really put my vision to work. After graduation I was in transition, while searching for a design job, freelance or full time, I came across some requests for sports photographers. I took a chance, went in for a meeting, and in turn was put on the spot and shot a little ice hockey. I was hooked and they liked my work. In the end I shot many weekends of hockey to begin, it helped me hone my skills as well as learning various other parts of photography such as working with strobes.
In the last 2 years I have worked around the country as well as a few jobs outside of the United States. Whether it was a corporate event in Puerto Rico, activities in San Diego, or the Travelers Championship in Connecticut I am available to travel the world and am willing to do what it takes to get the job done. I am now freelancing for a number of companies taking in work as it comes in, with that in mind I am available for all types of work. I take pride in all the work that I do and I have fun with any job presented to me, I love what I do and I hope it shows in my finished product.
