About me.
Born and bred in North Texas, I earned my Masters Degree and Bachelor Degrees in Music Performance and Music Education from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. Coming from a family of musicians, artists, and educators has taught me a love and passion for creativity across different mediums.
In my first teaching job as an assistant band director, I was assigned the role of social media coordinator for our band program. From there, I developed a love of photography and self-taught myself how to use the Adobe Creative Suite. After five years of teaching band, I left the band hall to teach in Wylie ISD where I taught classes in Digital Media, Photography, Digital Audio Technology, Marketing, and Advertising.
Through the years, I’ve maintained working relationships with local entrepreneurs, small businesses, non-profits, and educational organizations to provide professional photographic services at affordable prices. I loathe nickel and diming and refuse to incorporate it into my business model.
In 2023, I left the teaching profession. I currently work for Rayburn Electric Cooperative a generation and transmission electric cooperative in Rockwall, TX as a Communications Design Specialist.
My beautiful wife, Ashley and I live in my hometown of Rowlett. We have two daughters Evelyn and Constance who absolutely light up our world!
