I believe there are certain moments in our day when truth and beauty intersect. I believe great journalism reveals our common humanity and moves us closer together while broadening our perspective. My camera is merely the tool I use to recognize and record those moments.
My favorite subjects have been musicians and performance artists with whom I grow good friendships. But my daily newspaper work covers every topic between birth and death and beyond.
I was born in southwest Virginia in the mid 1980s. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in the late 2000s. I have worked as a photojournalist or multimedia editor in New Hampshire, Vermont, Virginia and Illinois.
I'm currently making the world a more beautiful place as a staff photojournalist at the Rockford Register Star in northern Illinois.
I'm available for editorial assignments and commercial projects upon request.
