After spending nine years in the Navy and seeing the world, I wanted to see if i could take my life in a new direction. After riding through the streets of Rome, standing in the coliseum, losing myself in the Lourve, touching the ancient marble of the Acropolis, and skiing down an indoor snow covered mountain in Dubai, I began to feel an urge to create that I never had before. When I came home I took the opportunity to start over again, go in an entirely new direction, Art. I knew that i wanted to leave a mark on the world in some way.
I began in design and when I had the chance to take an intro photography class I found myself immediately drawn into it and fell in love with lightpainting. I try to treat my portraiture photography honest with little to no filters but I take my non-portraiture work as far as it will go.
I'll always be grateful for the opportunities that serving my country has granted me. It has led me on much greater paths than I ever thought possible. Life can change at any stage, never be afraid to change along with it.
By the way, yeah, Im quite a nerd as well. I saw the original Star Wars in the theater when I was 4 and my mind never looked back. I love all things Sci-Fi and fantasy. I have a cat named Boba
