I have been a photographer since I was very young, and have been shooting professionally since 2007. I specifically focused on aerospace and special event media coverage, beginning at Wings Over Houston 2008/2009, while as a volunteer for the sound crew. This afforded me unique opportunities like twilight shots of the Thunderbirds and capturing the elusive trans-sonic shockwave of the Blue Angels. Since then, I have documented a variety of subjects from various Airshows, Open Houses, Expos, and airport new service events. I have also been credentialed media to numerous launches, landings, and restricted facility tours at KSC and CCAFS, with my works published in various outlets such as Zero-G News. I was fortunate to have seen Curiosity in the clean room before it was sent to Mars, flown on Fat Albert (twice), and have even been inside of both Shuttles Discovery AND Atlantis before they retired from NASA.
