A little background on myself, I am a mechanical engineer currently working in Somerville as a tech lead in SLa technology for a 3D printing company called Formlabs. Before that, I grew up in New England, making day trips with the family up to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine While I always enjoyed the great outdoors, it wasn’t until moving away from New England after graduating from the University of Rhode Island that I started to truly appreciate how incredible this area of the country is.

I have lived in 3 states and counting, with the most recent being Michigan, and have traveled to 40 of our great states.  Over the years I have built a love to get outside and travel, usually with a camera phone or point and shoot along with me.  After repeated praise from friends and family on my pictures, I caught on and decided to step up my game and get a DSLR.  After finding photography to be a passion of mine that I wanted to pursue more, I have continued to upgrade my gear, expand my collection and haven't looked back. On these pages you will find my work, from shooting family pets, to wandering cities and my love of cars or exploring the great outdoors.  While it may sound cliché, I find joy in trying to capture that intangible moment, a story frozen in time, that can come and go in a blink of an eye.
