Growing up my Grandmother was always artistic, crafting, painting, creating, it was here that I started to catch the bug. She encouraged me to see things differently, to create, to explore, to dream. Around 10 I found Photography, the family camera would tend to go missing. Saving my allowance I would buy rolls of film to photograph anything and everything around.

At 14 I began to venture to the Rockies with my friends to snowboard some of the most amazing mountains in the world and of course the camera was in tow. An old 35mm Minolta! When I turned 21 I moved to Toronto and attended Film school where I learned how to create motion picture films and television production. Something just kept calling me back to photography though.

Since college I have taught myself many of the photographic techniques I use today, continuously studying the works of photographers old and new. Some of those whom inspire me are Ansel Adams, Peter Lik, Nick Brandt and Platon. I use their work to propel my own and push myself to be that much better tomorrow.

My work is what molds my world, I see the earth and people differently now. I see it with more empathy and compassion. It is through photography where I found myself and I hope my work can affect others in the same way.

So this is my mission, my guiding light

To inspire others to do the best they can, to succeed and to be strong enough to fail, to be better than they were the day before.
