I always say, “I am just a guy with a camera.” Ten years ago, I traded an Xbox 360 for a Canon Rebel T3i. It was an inexpensive camera, but nonetheless, it was a camera. For just over three years, I studied, captured anything I could see, and devoted countless hours to perfecting the art of composition, lighting, editing, and getting to know the camera.

After those three years, I was posting on Facebook and I landed my first gig. For the next three and a half years, I built a solid portfolio and I was at the point where I was making as much on my “side hustle” as I was making at my full-time job. So, I quit.

After 20 years in sales and marketing, I left my cushion corporate job to pursue photography full-time. I hold a master’s in marketing and am lucky enough to be able to apply that to my photography business. March 3, 2022 was my last day at an office job. Since then, I’ve grown to heights I never thought I would see. It’s been a humbling journey and I appreciate every single one of you that has trusted me with your photography.
