I’m a freelance photojournalist based in Tri-Cities, Washington. I document community stories, breaking news, local sports, and everyday life across the region. Before my career in journalism and photography, I served in the military. That experience continues to shape how I work in the field and interact with first responders.
Before photography became my focus, I worked for several years as a reporter and news editor at daily and weekly community newspapers, earning awards for both writing and photography. That background shapes my approach to look deeper, work ethically, and capture moments that tell the real story of the people and places I photograph.
