I'm a recovering CEO turned award-winning, internationally exhibited, and published documentary photojournalist, fine art photographer and photography educator. After spending most of my adult life in white-collar roles, I’ve come to learn that my collar is actually quite blue. Though I projected the very image of success as a tech CEO building software companies for many years, I was far from happy. 
​
Photography saved my soul. 
​
I pride myself on being an inclusive visual storyteller, and I’m most content embracing my blue collar, navigating high-risk conflict zones, and capturing images that show the stories everyone should know. Much of my work is focused on exposing power relations and shining a light on the darkness of social inequality around the world. 

​

I've been fortunate enough to have my photos shown in Leica Fotografie International online as Leica Master Shots, distributed and sold by Getty Images, featured internationally in photography and fine art publications such as ShotKit.com and The Photo Review Journal of Fine Art Photography, exhibited in galleries around the world, and featured in The Smithsonian Magazine. I am also happy to be a 2023 recipient of a postgraduate bursary equipment grant by the Royal Photographic Society and MPB.com to continue my project documenting people on their journeys through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) therapies to achieve parenthood through science. 
​
I'm a member of The National Press Photographer's Association, The International Association of Press Photographers, and am an Accredited Photographer with The Association of Photographers. I've completed studies in Photojournalism with the New York Institute of Photography, Commercial & Fine Art Photography with Speos International Photography School in Paris, France, and in May 2024 I'll complete my Master of Arts degree in Photography with a focus on Documentary Photojournalism from Falmouth University, ranked number 1 arts university in the UK. ​
​
Though I didn't seek out to become a professional photographer and educator, I wouldn't change a thing. Photography feeds my soul and has taken me around the world, meeting and photographing the beautiful, strange, and interesting people that inhabit it, and then showing their stories. 
​
If there’s one thing I've learned as a photographer documenting global social inequality of the human condition, it’s that this world needs only one thing… more love. 
​
It is my goal to inspire that love. 

​

My life's been filled with adventures and experiences that I'm sure will send me to hell on a full scholarship. But for now... this is as close as it gets to Heaven.
