About The Artist

I Don't Just Watch
The Race. I Run It.

Most photographers wait at the finish line. I prefer the pain cave. As an ultra-runner (50k/50m), I understand the grit required to compete, and I bring that same endurance to my work.

Whether I'm documenting a senior's unique style or an athlete's breaking point, my goal is simple: Create a safe, authentic space where you can be exactly who you are.

The Philosophy
    These Years Move Fast.
  
    My goal isn't just to document a race; it's to freeze the intensity, the grit, and the personality of this moment before it's gone. 
    
    Whether I'm on the sidelines at State or in the studio, I treat every local athlete like a pro—delivering commercial-grade imagery that honors the work they put in.
