I create art because photography helped me find my voice, my purpose, and a way to preserve the stories people never want to forget.

My favorite art to create is photography and videography that tells real stories. I love capturing weddings, families, veterans, and everyday people in a way that feels honest, emotional, and timeless.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the people I meet, their love, their resilience, and the moments they trust me to capture. Every person has a story, and photography gives me a way to preserve it.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to help fund The Shutter Collective, the nonprofit my wife and I created. Our mission is to provide free photo sessions for underserved communities and veterans, and to offer photography workshops for veterans, youth, and adults so they can learn to create art and build new opportunities.
