I was born and raised in South Arlington, VA. I was a safety patrol at Randolph elementary school. I was a talented wrestler at Thomas Jefferson middle school. And…

But when it was time from me to go to high school I traveled to Africa, Lagos Nigeria to be specific. During my travels, I learned new languages. I reconnected with distant relatives. I experienced the beautiful imagery of Africa. And I developed a deeper appreciation for family, life, and culture.

If I’m honest, Africa is where the seed was sown; it is the place where my love of imagery and photography came to manifest. There wasn't a day that would go by that wouldn't lend itself to producing the most beautiful and provocative photographs. At that moment, I realized that I wanted to document and create art with photographs. It would take another ten years for this dream to manifest. But it happened.

I love entrepreneurship, tea, photographing people, traveling, rugby, football and chilling with family and friends. I have a beautiful wife named Laura. And we have a beautiful baby boy named Isaiah, who is my smile waiting to happen.
