I come from a small town of 3000 residents in Indiana. My artistic journey has been a lifelong exploration of various forms of expression. It all began with my passion for drawing, which has since evolved into a many creative endeavors. When I was twelve, I found my grandmother's camera, and the world of capturing light began. I started by capturing the beauty of nature, from flowers to insects, but soon transitioned to shooting videos and crafting goofy amateur short movies—often enlisting my friends for our cinematic adventures.

One pivotal moment in my creative journey was when I received a GoPro as a Christmas gift from my father at the age of 14. Unfortunately, my father never got to witness me opening it, as he unexpectedly passed away a few weeks before. In his memory, I embarked on a mission to use my camera as much as possible, channeling my grief into creations. This period of my life marked a significant shift in my artistic style. I started capturing raw, authentic moments and editing my work to evoke powerful emotions in others.

At 17, I purchased professional equipment and gear, and my creative evolution started to gain momentum. From 2017 to 2022, I ventured into the world of wedding videography, a realm that taught me invaluable skills in quick thinking, run-and-gun shooting, meticulous planning, and, perhaps most importantly, the art of crafting emotionally captivating content. My portfolio expanded to include music videos and live event coverage, broadening my horizons while honing my craft.

Despite finding fulfillment in local projects, I harbored dreams of reaching greater heights in my creative pursuits. I aspired to produce content for brands, businesses, and documentaries, a vision that was challenging to realize in my small hometown. In February 2023, my girlfriend and I decided to embark on a new chapter, heading west to Denver, Colorado, in search of fresh opportunities.

Since our move, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of fellow creatives in the realms of medicine, sports, science, education, outdoors, and gaming. This adventure has been nothing short of exhilarating, and I am excited to continue assisting individuals and organizations in bringing their creative visions to life.

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to learning about you, your ideas, and visions.
