Hopefully you've taken a minute to look through some of my work and for that I thank you. Although I get tremendous satisfaction from making these photographs and videos, the work of any journalist is only valuable when it is shared.

I am currently working as a photographer and multimedia specialist at the News & Advance daily newspaper in Lynchburg, Virginia. Please visit my recent work section to see what I've been up to.

Growing up in Minneapolis, I set out to combine my propensity to travel with my interest in photography and found photojournalism. Meeting ambitious, like-minded photographers while attending the University of Missouri inspired me to follow my instincts, ask questions and use my camera as a tool to tell the stories I encounter.

I am grateful for the experiences I've had The Maneater, the South Bend Tribune and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I believe my unending curiosity is my greatest asset and I intend to keep it with me wherever I go.
