MINNEAPOLIS BORN, MICHIGAN'S U.P. RAISED & PITTSBURGH BASED

I’ve been creating art since an early age. My first joy was drawing and painting. It helped me deal with early life challenges as I often could lose myself in the joy of creating and sharing my feelings. I began followed in my Dad's photography footsteps in high school buying my first good camera.

This was before the digital age when either you developed your film in your basement as he or sent your rolls to a developer. My Dad would take me with on landscape, wedding, or flower shoots.

He gave me a bug I’ve maintained all my life.
