My photographic journey began in the dimly lit confines of the Needham High School darkroom, armed with my dad’s vintage Canon A-1 and a roll of film. The magic of developing images—watching the latent pictures slowly reveal themselves—ignited a lifelong passion for capturing moments that matter.

Though I dabbled in digital photography during college, it wasn’t until 2013, when I picked up a Sony NEX-3N, that I truly rediscovered my love for the craft. Travel adventures provided the perfect opportunity to experiment and hone my skills, shaping my unique perspective as both a photographer and digital artist. The arrival of COVID-19 marked a turning point, prompting me to invest in a full-frame Canon camera and further refine my approach.

Today, I’m drawn to the storytelling potential of photography, blending natural scenes with imaginative elements to evoke emotions and spark conversations. Whether I’m capturing the vibrant energy of a concert, the quiet beauty of a street scene, or collaborating with brands on user-generated content, my goal remains the same: to create images that resonate deeply and leave a lasting impression.

I’m also the founder of Forest City Collective, a community for photographers in Cleveland. Whether I’m shooting concerts, real estate, or collaborating with brands, my goal is always to create work that resonates and leaves a lasting impression.
