Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the 1960s, my journey began with the values of hard work, resilience, and appreciation for life’s simple moments. After graduating high school, I proudly joined the United States Marine Corps, where I had the opportunity to travel the world and experience life from countless perspectives. Those years shaped who I am today — teaching me discipline, gratitude, and the importance of living life to its fullest.

Over time, I discovered a passion for capturing life through a camera lens. Photography became more than just a hobby — it became a way to preserve the fleeting beauty of a moment and share it with others. Every photograph tells a story, whether it’s a breathtaking scenic view or a quiet, personal moment. Each image carries emotion — joy, love, nostalgia, or even sorrow — and through those emotions, we learn, grow, and remember what life is truly about.

As the years have passed, I’ve reached many personal milestones: building a family, becoming a father to two incredible daughters, and now, a proud grandfather to four amazing grandchildren. Watching them grow and thrive has been one of life’s greatest gifts.

My photography comes from the heart — inspired by love, family, and the beauty that surrounds us. Being able to share those captured memories with others and help them relive their own special moments is what continues to drive my passion every day. I wouldn’t change a single thing about the journey that brought me here.
