Biography

I was born in 1976 and grew up in both Sanderson, Texas and Dallas, Texas. I have also lived in Arkansas and Pennsylvania and I'm currently based in Louisville, Kentucky.

I studied art and photography at the University of North Texas. I have been shooting for Airbnb since 2012 and I started my own business in 2017.
