About
I am a documentary photographer and retired U.S. Army veteran whose work examines ecological, political, and social systems.
I served for 15 years in the Army, including multiple deployments to Iraq and Korea, before being medically retired as a 100% disabled veteran. During my service, I worked as an Army investigator and earned a bachelor’s degree in Intelligence. That background continues to shape how I approach photography: methodical, evidence-driven, and attentive.
Photography became an essential outlet after transitioning from my military career as a means of processing PTSD and long-term physical injury. Over time, it evolved from personal documentation into a disciplined documentary practice focused on environments, infrastructure, labor, and the human consequences of policy and power.
My work is grounded in long-form projects rather than isolated images. I am drawn to projects that serve humanity and the lived realities of veterans navigating medicine and bureaucracy. Cannabis, particularly as medicine, intersects my work both personally and politically, informing projects that explore sustainability, access, and stigma.
Through LensWarrior, I approach photography as both documentation and record — creating images that function as visual evidence while leaving space for reflection, ambiguity, and resilience.
