I never know the "right" amount of information to give about myself and tend towards oversharing, so here are some things about me that I think are interesting/important enough to share: 

✨ I learned to develop x-ray film in the darkroom when I was a kid, which sparked my love for film photography

✨ I've always been obsessed with cameras and started a business doing corporate headshots when I was in high school

✨ I helped teach an intro to photography class for a year before deciding I didn't want to teach teenagers yet. I'm considering teaching again in the future.

✨ I studied fine art photography at the Corcoran College of Art + Design (now owned by George Washington University) where I met my wife and fell in love

✨ I'm a Subaru Ambassador!

✨ in my 12 years of grade school I attended 11 different schools (Navy Brat life, ya know?) Okinawa, Japan is the coolest place I've lived so far.
