From the Foundation up: My Story
Wisconsin Native | Story teller | Photographer
Long before I started professional work, I was just a kid borrowing my mother's camera. Whether it was a family wedding or a trip to the local museum, you'd most likely find me in my own world with a camera in hand, learning how to observe, capture, and tell stories.
My journey through life was a wavy one to say the least. I spent years working the trades-navigating the fast pace of customer service, experiencing the grit of concrete, and learning the precision of landscaping. While those jobs shaped my character and development, photography remained my anchor.
Years passed before a spark of dreams finally ignited when I found a Canon Rebel my local Saint Vincent de Paul thrift store. My Ford Fusion at the time became my canvas, allowing me to practice with different backdrops, lighting scenarios, composition of images. It was my pride and joy, but also the vehicle that made me fall in love with photography.
To put it simply, photography saved me. It gave me a way to express my love for Gods creation and to share the stories hidden within our world. I believe in capturing life exactly as it is, being a mentor to others along the way, and never giving on the chase to your dreams.
Whether you need somebody to tell your story, or just want to talk shop, I'm always ready for the next adventure.

My 2017, Ford Fusion. It was equipped with Airlift suspension, riding on Variant Radon wheels, finished in bronze. My favorite thing about this car was the black and bronze combination.
Capturing the lifestyle I was living.
One of my very first wildlife photographs. I remember taking this and my family being astounded by it. It DEFINITELY sparked a love for birding.
