Hello, and thank you for stopping by! My photographic journey began in the U.S. Marine Corps as a combat cameraman, and after my enlistment, I worked as a photojournalist for some local newspapers in North Carolina. Thanks to my experience in the military and as a photojournalist, I received an opportunity to attend the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. After graduating in 2021 I did a variety of freelance work, and in the fall of 2022 I was hired by the Syracuse University Athletics department as their lead photographer.

My photos have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, New York Post, The New York Times, PDN Photo Annual 2018, The Players’ Tribune, Relix Magazine, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
