Based in northern, Illinois I've made it my mission to combine photo, art, and graphic art
Ever since I've touched a camera, I knew I would be able to begin something. In the beginning, I explored it with paper and pencil, primarily getting to study the design behind it. The more curious I got, the better it came out, from learning graphic design, sports graphics for local teams, and some of my favorite collegiate teams, such as the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Illinois Fighting Illini. From creating this, it led me into photography, but primarily, my brother's joining his club soccer team instinctively drew me into it, prompting me to purchase my first-ever digital camera, and from that point forward, my journey evolved. I am an active member of Clutch Sports Media 815, based outside of Rockford, where Rockford plays its biggest games! Also a member of DOPE VZN, where "The VZN is ours!"
Today, my goal is to merge all my creative skills. I believe that photography, videography, graphic design, and illustration can coalesce and blend into something truly unique and beautiful.
LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
A BIT ABOUT ME
BEYOND PHOTOGRAPHY
I was born and raised in Northern Illinois, with the beautiful city of Chicago just a drive away. Outside of photography, I am a college student at Rock Valley College in Rockford, Illinois. I'm in the process of getting my Associate of Arts for Journalism and getting a head start to get my Bachelor's Degree in Finance, and I plan on transferring to the University of Alabama after my graduation in Spring of 2027.
I am an alumnus of Stillman Valley High School in Stillman Valley, Illinois, where my photography career started to take off, and where I graduated in May of 2025. Throughout High School, I was an active member of the Varsity Football team from my freshman to senior year of high school, as well as my school's yearbook staff during my junior and senior years.
Beyond my passion for both photography and videography, I am deeply immersed in the world of Golf and play regularly. Sports will forever hold a special place in my heart, particularly high school and college football. I am a proud fan of both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Illinois Fighting Illini, particularly in football and basketball. Game days are always a highlight for me.
Music fuels my creativity no matter where I'm located. My playlist is dominated by rap, hip-hop, country, and R&B artists such as Kanye West, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Zach Bryan, Ty Myers, and Morgan Wallen.
