I’m a professional photographer based in the Canton / Akron / Cleveland, Ohio area, specializing in fine art, portraits, landscapes, and nature-based work. My photography is deeply influenced by the outdoors, human connection, and storytelling through natural environments.

Over the past decade, I owned and managed multiple concession companies, which allowed me to travel extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally. That lifestyle, combined with a lifelong passion for hiking, skateboarding, and the outdoors, naturally led me into photography and the visual arts. I also completed a degree in Environmental Science from Kent State University, which strongly informs my respect for the natural world and how I approach my work.

My favorite projects combine the raw beauty of nature with the elegance of the human form, but I work across multiple genres and continue to expand my portfolio each year. Inspiration comes from artists I encounter both online and in galleries nationwide.

Booking & Collaborations

I primarily accept paid work, as photography is my full-time profession. However, I will selectively consider TFP collaborations that offer strong creative or portfolio value. I’m always open to discussing projects, concepts, and budgets.

Creating meaningful, beautiful work is what drives me—it’s what keeps me inspired and fulfilled. I look forward to connecting and creating with new faces.
