Dedication
First and foremost, we must give thanks and glory to our Heavenly Father for providing the means to have a personal relationship with Him through the redemptive death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, and for His Holy Spirit who teaches and guides us through this journey called life. We are thankful for all the blessings and tragedies that helped shape us into who we are today.
May all we do be worthy of the grace you've given and the mercy you've shown. Amen.

And Just a Little About Me
I first picked up a camera more than 10 years ago. Since then, I have photographed subjects of various types. Like many before me, I started with and still enjoy landscape photography. I have spent a great number of hours shooting sports (my first and enduring love) and event photography. I still pride myself on being a single shot photographer rather than relying on a rapid fire shutter, quality over quantity. I've also shot a few weddings and they are a challenge in their own right, a combination of product, portrait, and event photography.
A photographer is often directed to find a niche and master it. I have honestly tried to do such, but I find life to it difficult to settle into just one genre. I've been told more than once that I embody the maxim, "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but he's still better than a master of one." I'd rather pursue mastery of my equipment and lighting. After all, light is at the heart of photography. If I can do that, it doesn't matter what the subject is. As I've said before, in a room full of engineers, I'm the best baker and in a room of bakers, I'm the best engineer.
I am always looking to improve my skills through formal education, independent study and practice, practice, practice. I'm a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography's Portrait Photography course and working towards certification with Professional Photographers of America.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Entrepreneurship from Ashford University in 2015, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
I have won First Place in the People category for the 2023 Downtown Artists Cooperative Annual Regional Open Exhibition in Clarksville, TN.
I have also been published in Brand Model Magazine.
