Born and raised in Miami, Florida, and now based in Central Texas, I create work rooted in storytelling through both still images and film.

After 21 years of service in the U.S. Army and over a decade as a Green Beret, I found a new mission behind the lens: capturing moments that inspire, uplift, and mean something real.

This journey isn’t just about photography. It’s about growth, purpose, and telling stories that matter. And I’m just getting started.
