I grew up in a small Kentucky town, adopted and raised by loving parents who supported me through every twist life threw my way. As a kid, sports were my entire world. I played football, basketball, baseball, golf, and raced motocross. If it involved competition, I was in. Baseball was my passion and the sport I poured most of my energy into, until an arm injury changed my path. Looking back, it was one of those moments that didn’t go the way I planned, but ultimately led me somewhere better.

Even after sports ended, staying active remained a big part of my life. I found new ways to challenge myself by traveling, golfing when I have the patience for it, riding dirt bikes, running Spartan races, and eventually picking up a camera. Photography started simply by capturing motocross, the sport I grew up around. I spent that first year traveling to tracks, riding during open practices, and shooting races to build a portfolio. At one point, I even drove six hours to Georgia for the sake of getting better content.

About a year and a half later, everything changed. I got the opportunity to shoot for Racer X Illustrated, the top motocross magazine in the industry. Davey Coombs the owner of Racer X and president of the Pro Motocross series, gave me a chance to photograph two events for them. One of my images ended up featured in the table of contents of the November 2023 issue. I’ll never forget walking into a bookstore and seeing a photo I took printed in the same magazine I’d been reading since I was ten. Truly a bucket list moment.

Since then, my work has expanded. For the past four seasons, I’ve been photographing high school and college sports ranging from the D1-D3 level. What keeps me coming back is the energy of the game, the passion of the athletes, and the chance to preserve a moment they’ll never forget.

I love capturing people doing what they love because I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to compete, to want to freeze a moment in time, and to cherish it years later. Whether it’s a game winning play or a quiet moment of focus, my goal is to deliver images that tell a story and mean something long after the lights go out.
