As a freelance photographer with more than 15 years of experience, I specialize in landscape and storm photography. My passion for meteorology and severe weather began at a young age and has continued to shape both my creative work and personal pursuits.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Geography from Northern Illinois University in 2009, with a strong emphasis in meteorology. Throughout my career, I have combined my love of weather, travel, and the outdoors—often embarking on road trips and hiking adventures to capture beautiful landscapes and scenes through my lens.

For 10 years, I have served as a photo printing manager at a local camera shop in Peoria, Illinois, further deepening my expertise in the technical and artistic aspects of photography. I strive to live life to the fullest while capturing the moment through my camera's lens.
