For as long as I can remember, I could sit and stare at the sights my two eyes were given the gift to see. I have always been a very visual person, often preferring non verbal communication over the more complicated vocal ones. I always felt the way I saw things was a bit skewed from others, or maybe I was just more in tune with my surroundings. Either way, photography soon became an outlet for me to communicate ideas that were often to difficult for me to put in words.

My fine art background from the University of Illinois has provided me with a precisely tuned perspective on the art of photography no matter what I shoot or who I shoot it for. Photography is an art that I continually reach for perfection with and when I started taking it seriously is when I felt I finally gained a voice.
