My curiosity and insatiable desire to learn have shaped an enriching and meaningful life. From 2000 to 2012, I worked as a professional actor in New York City, where I discovered a lifelong passion for storytelling. Along the way, I've embraced a variety of roles—bartender, waiter, restaurant manager, and tasting room manager—and authored heartfelt stories for my personal project, People of Wine Country. I'm also proud to have honorably served in the U.S. Navy.
I've called many places home, from Yokosuka, Japan, to Florida, New York City, Los Angeles, and Napa Valley. My travels, both across the globe and throughout this breathtaking country, have been transformative, allowing me to connect with people from all walks of life. Today, I reside in Charlotte, NC, with my wife, Danielle, cherishing our marriage, good food, personal growth, honest conversation, daily reflection, lifelong learning, and—above all—a sense of humor to navigate it all.
Through my work, I strive to create images that invite the viewer to pause, reflect, and consider the enduring resonance of place within their own story. I aim to craft spaces for contemplation—offering a deeper understanding of ourselves, our neighbor, and the world we inhabit.
This philosophy extends directly into my commercial work, where I specialize in transforming built and natural environments into images that connect emotionally with your future clients. My goal is simple: your marketing materials—whether website, ad, print, or brochure—shouldn't just show your work, they should make your audience feel it. Images that inspire positive emotions are what motivate clients to take the next step. My process begins by understanding how you want your work to make them feel—and then creating visuals that move them to act.
