I’m a creator. From the early days of my father helping build my darkroom in the garage to design school at East Carolina University. Then a career as an art director and group creative director in various North Carolina advertising agencies working with talented writers, producers, and photographers to build award-winning work. With a transition back to photography, I’ve never been happier or more challenged.

Every bit of that journey informs what I see through the lens today and how I interact with clients behind the camera and subjects in front. I know that designers want that negative space in the frame. I know that my client needs to cover those optional shots, “just in case”. It’s all part of the workflow and the trust I hope to earn on each job.
