I’m a Charleston native who grew up around the salt marsh and the sea. I spent my summers on our house boat off Sullivans Island and earned spending money as the first mate on my Dads off shore boat. Those early years shaped how I see the world.
I’m a husband and proud dad of three, and when I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me outside, in the woods, on the water, or unplugged with my family.
I’m a high-functioning introvert who thrives behind the lens, but who genuinely enjoys guiding people to feel comfortable and seen. I’m curious by nature, attentive to details, and calm under pressure, which naturally shapes how I connect with people and create experiences that feel easy, intentional, and human.
I’ve always been a lover of both the wild and the orderly, equally at home in strategy and spontaneity.
