I have a unique background in education that started in the U.S. Air Force where I was an F-15E flight instructor for ten years and wrote F-15E training curricula. I continued to teach helicopter lessons after transitioning to civilian life.

However, I soon discovered my passion was telling stories through photography. I've completed documentary projects throughout the world and have also taught photography on three continents. I've been a professional photographer for over ten years, having been published in places like New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Tahoe Quarterly, and the U.S. National Park Service.

I've been teaching in-person photography lessons since 2017 and have brought a proven method to these online courses. Photography is a joy that everyone should have access to, and I'd like to pass it on to you, too!
