Hi there!
By now you already know my name, so we can skip the formal introductions — let’s just call this the part where we’re officially friends.

Here’s what you don’t know (but might find helpful now): I was born in Texas but moved away when I was eight. From there, life took me on quite a journey — growing up across Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Germany, and Liberia before returning to the U.S. for university. I studied photography California Baptist University, and from there it has been a wonderful journey of making photographs, meeting interesting people, and constantly learning and adapting to each situation that comes.

As an artist and photographer, I’m endlessly fascinated by people — what they do, how they do it, and the quiet details that reveal who they are. When I’m not behind a camera, you’ll usually find me cooking, playing any sport with a net, experimenting to perfect a new cocktail recipe, or just enjoying a cozy evening at home with my wife.
