I was always compelled to chronicle history, family, friends and events

My career in photography began early on, when I was offered a position with a local newspaper. I rolled and developed film, and printed photos for the journalists. I was approached by the editor to photograph city events and found myself immersed in visual storytelling. With Photoshop and Lightroom decades away, I was intrigued by the manual development process that brought my photos to life. It was clear early on that photography would be embedded in my DNA.

Over time, I developed an ethereal style, capturing the peaceful glow of dawn's first light. 

As a photographer, it’s within the solitude of nature that I find my inspiration.
