It only takes one moment to capture a perfect image. One moment where the lighting is just right and the subject falls perfectly into place.

I picked up my first camera when I was 16 years old. I grew up in Long Island, New York. One of my favorite things about New York was the ability to go to concerts whenever you’d like. I made sure to always get front row so I could see the performer up close. After a while, I was more excited about the photographs I was getting of these musicians than the music itself. That was how I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I moved to West Virginia to take care of my grandpa and that is where I finished my B.F.A in photography from Marshall University. After college I fell into art education when I became an adjunct faculty member at Marshall University and a contract educator for the Huntington Museum of Art. Teaching has not only allowed me to help others on their creative path but it has pushed me as an artist as well. As the old saying goes, “If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.”
