For most people a camera is just a camera
For me, my camera is a creative escape that has forever captured moments my mind will forget too soon,
created connections with those I would have never connected with and played a vital role in giving me the
confidence of not just knowing and accepting my story
but the confidence that my story is worth telling.
I wish I had that confidence at 19 and not until 39.
That is what a camera can mean.
That is the confidence i want to empower the next generation of photographers with.

I am searching for opportunities to tell stories through photography of musicians, artist, athletes and intriguing individuals that have overcome adverse childhood events (aces) to inspire & give hope to those that need it while creating a community of trauma informed creatives across multiple mediums along with getting the opportunity to explore nature & capture wildlife images.
I Would love to shoot an Indiana hoosier basketball or football game...Hoo hoo Hoo Hoosiers!
