about me
On to my next adventure….
Now, where are
my keys?
Getting introduced to photography by my father around age 16, I quickly thought this photography stuff is fun! I immediately took to photography which has lead me on my photography journey and career today.
Battling mental health issues for most of my life, I realized that travel always seemed to be a respite from my every day struggles. In my adventures over the years, I’ve discovered how much needed to be captured and enjoyed again and again. That old ghost town in the west, those unique shapes that form the Badlands, that old barn down a forgotten country road - these are the things that have captured my eye and my heart.
Today, I travel and explore abandoned structures as often as I can. I find so much beauty off the beaten path and love sharing my finds with a world that seems to favor the shiny and new.
Most recently, I’ve released my third book, Jersey City: The Real Chilltown, thanks to Fonthill Media. To support me and order a copy, you can find more info here.
