I like capturing interesting things with cameras.
Originally from Chicago, I've photographed and produced projects both locally and internationally, from the center of big cities to small towns in Latin America.
If I had to describe myself in one sentence, it would be as follows: "Equally as comfortable in a tux at a gala, or in coveralls on a farm." (For the record, I also like flight suits, wet suits, and scrubs.)
Call me audacious, but I believe there is always beauty that lies within grit- which is precisely what my favorite projects challenge me to capture.

Background: I hold a cinema degree from Columbia College Chicago. While I was in school, I managed a team of filmmakers who covered live concerts. After graduation, I spent two years living and volunteering full-time as a caregiver at a home for vulnerable children in central Mexico; I still go back to visit regularly.
Interests: I swim, scuba dive, snowboard, and mountain bike. I speak fluent spanish, and am very interested in emergency medicine. I've even taken an EMT class! I recently graduated from The Second City Improv Program, and am licensed to drive an 18-wheeler. I love airplanes and helicopters, and have a peculiar knack for barbering.
