About me

I’ve always loved photography. Back in high school, I would sign out a camera from my photography class and spend hours doing street photography and capturing candid moments. My heroes quickly became the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado.

At the time, I never imagined that photography would take me far beyond street and documentary work. I had the opportunity to major in photography in college, and now—more than 25 years later—I’ve taught hundreds, if not thousands, of public school students to fall in love with the art form.

Photography has also opened doors for me as a reporter and event photographer, allowing me to capture stories, communities, and moments that matter. Through it all, I remain deeply grateful for the gift of photography and the way it continues to shape my life.
