I'm a visual artist and social media manager with experience in a wide array of disciplines. I've often been told I seem the most at peace when I have a camera in my hands. I grew up in the suburbs of Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I played soccer, rode Trials motorcycles, raced karts, and studied to become an engineer. After high school, I moved to Murfreesboro, TN to attend Middle Tennessee State University, and that's where I really found my love of the visual arts. I managed to graduate in 3 years with a Bachelor of Science in Media and Communications with a focus in video and film production and a minor in Global Studies. Out of college, I started working as an entertainment lighting technician, touring the country and putting on shows for some of the biggest names at the time, while pursuing my passion for the arts on the side. Over time, I gained a foothold in the photography industry and started my own business doing private and commercial portraiture.
