Making the ordinary extraordinary.

The action of a sporting event brings out the best in me.

It helps me focus on the moment, where snapping the shutter captures the story, in my own unique way.

I am not afraid of the spotlight, and I actually I welcome it…

Picking up a camera — a digital Rebel xt in 2010 — started me on a road I didn’t even know I needed.

When I bought my first lens, the Canon ef 50 mm f1.8 that cost me $99, I really didn’t know what I was doing (in my life or with my camera). That was a true beginning, a real opportunity to build a relationship with myself and the world outside my own front door.

I have never stopped myself from learning from other photographers, or from learning new skills that can help me be a better photographer and a better me.

I have walked the streets of Boston, the beaches of Cape Cod, and the aisles of Fenway Park camera in hand, allowing myself to let go of the dysfunction of my childhood environment along the way.

The camera gave me an excuse to get out of my own way and to create images that I could build and share with you.

Today I am someone who is more than a photographer, addict, battler of mental illness, childhood suicide survivor, ultra marathoner, crossfitter, climber of Harvard stadium, November Project OG, I am still here with so much more to share.

I hope you’ll follow along as this journey continues to unfold one shutter click at a time. I am always available for hire no matter your needs.

The journey forward is always better together. Your story is worth telling and so is mine.

Here are a few links to check out if you have a minute…

Self taught event, sports, portrait, fine art, street photographer based in Mass.

I picked up a Canon digital Rebel with a 50mm 1.8 f in 2010 and have been learning about light and shaping it everyday since then. It started as a form of therapy to battle Bipolar Disorder and Addiction, and it has become so much more. The opportunity to share my work and make it available to you has taken years of Soul searching, courage, and Self Confidence building. I hope you find a piece that speaks to you in this gallery.
