I am a sophomore Photojournalism major originally from Akron, Ohio. I've been taking photos since I was a young man with a point and shoot Polaroid as my first camera of choice. Since upgrading my equipment I've has traveled all over the country to cover a wide variety of events from Kent State University Basketball in Moraga, California to Republican Presidential candidate John McCain's final rally in Phoenix, Arizona. While shooting sports photography is a true passion for me, my heart lies in shooting portraits. I love the ability to interact with people on such a close level while appreciating where they are coming from as well as being able to capture a small portion of their life within my camera.
