about your photographer

I'm on my third career after time in Aerospace and the Intelligence Community. I worked on the F-15, F-16, F-18, and F-22, then consulted at the NRO on satellite programs. Photography began as a side hustle but outpaced my day job, so I went full time. Now, I get to make people laugh and look great in front of my camera. It's a dream come true to run my own business—rewarding, creative, and challenging in all the right ways.

I've always had a thing for bikes. As a kid, it was a Schwinn Sting-Ray. In my thirties, I got into road bikes and set a goal to ride a century. After losing loved ones to cancer, I found the Pan Mass Challenge—a 200-mile ride to raise money for cancer research. After my dad passed from a rare cancer, the cause became personal. I rode 11 times and raised over $104,000 for Dana-Farber. The people, the purpose—it's one of the most meaningful things I've ever done.

I met my wife Adrienne over 20 years ago and knew right away she was the one. We married on New Year's Eve and later chose domestic adoption to grow our family. Our first son, Zachary, came from Ohio—he's on the Spectrum and a daily blessing. Jacob came from a local couple seeking a family with Zach. Now we're busy with high school, middle school, sports, and band. It's a full, joyful life, and being a Dad is the role I cherish most.

I've always been fascinated by cameras and how they work—from chemistry to electrons. I earned the photography merit badge as a scout but didn't buy my first real camera until my thirties. I found myself drawn to photos of people, which led to a passion for headshot photography. I now study under Peter Hurley, the best in the world, and launched my business in 2019. It has become a rewarding journey for both me and my family.
