I’m a father, husband, cyclist, coach, adjunct professor, photographer and videographer. My photography journey started in 2009. I purchased a point-and-shoot camera and quickly became enthralled in everything photography. I buried myself in books, forums and any photography education I could find. I purchased gear as I could and grasped onto every bit of knowledge that came my way. I shot stock, landscape, wedding and portrait photography for the next 6 years. I traveled Nevada frequently and took photos of everything from railroads to mountainous landscapes. From 2015 to 2018 I took a leave of absence and stopped shooting photos due to an overwhelming amount of school, work and cycling. In 2017 I became a professional land surveyor and graduated with my bachelor’s degree in land surveying and geomatics. This allowed me to ease back into videography and photography. When I came back to photography I realized that I was sick of shooting the same-old stock cookie-cutter image. My goal today is to break free from cookie-cutter images. My goal is to create art that breaks from the norms. I love to see the emotion on a person’s face when they see my work. That is what drives me to create.
