HEY, IT’S ME
In 2000 I was on a mission trip in Mexico, when a friend let me borrow his “nice” camera for a day. That was the day that I fell in love with photography. The ability to capture the world how I see it and be able to share that with others fascinates me. Photography has grown into my favorite passion because it is new every time I look through the camera.

I graduated from Sam Houston State University in December 2005 with a degree in photography. During school my best friend, Aaron Cave, and I started a t-shirt company, Randomshirts.com, and that led me into doing graphic design and web design as well. I design shirt graphics, print material, advertising campaigns, and web sites. I absolutely love what I do. There is something just so excited about starting with a blank canvas and creating something from nothing. I also am a musician and currently play drums in the band Sleeperstar, check us out and let me know what you think! With all the projects I’m involved in I am able to use all my skills and passions and feel like it’s a dream sometimes…that no one should get to do as much fun stuff as I get to do! I feel so blessed everyday that I get to work for myself and do what I love for a living. I am currently living and based out of Dallas, TX and loving it.

MY BLOG
I want this to be a place where you can come and get to know me a little better. I’ve never been much of a writer, but I’m gonna give it a shot. I also get asked a lot of questions about photography and business, and although I defiantly don’t have anywhere near all the answers, I will humbly try to share what knowledge I’ve gained in my business endeavors as well as my pursuit as an artist. I’m always willing to chat and talk art/life/faith, whatever it may be. Please feel free to ask away, my virtual door is always open.
