I’m a blessed husband and a father to twin daughters and call New Jersey home. My profession is in the banking industry and my photography journey started in 2010 when my wife gifted me a Canon Rebel T2i and kit lens for our wedding. This camera traveled around the world. As my photography skills and confidence evolved, I have traded and swapped gear including Canon 6D/5D/M50/R, Olympus MFT, Fujifilm xf and most recently Nikon Z6ii and Leica M240. Since then, photography has been a source of therapy and peace, calming nerves while intentionally composing images and searching for beautiful light.

I’m influenced by great artists of the past such as Bill Cunningham, Garry Winogrand, Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams and Vivian Maier. But I’m also inspired by contemporary artists and community creators such as Thomas Heaton, Sean Tucker, Lucy Lumen, Mathieu Bitton, Landon Nordeman, Teri Bocko, JuanCarlos Gonzales, Chris Chu, Sire Roman, Vincent Caruso and Lance Gailyard.

I have had the luxury of freedom to create for myself, taking pictures of my kids and family, city scapes, landscapes and candid shots of well dressed people on New York City streets. But I am most interested in the next opportunity to grow and create photography and art for others, including events, weddings, and family and corporate portraits.
