After 10 years at the U.S. Naval Academy and 20 years of federal service, I’m officially moving on.
I’ve had the opportunity to document midshipmen, leadership, and moments that matter—over 59,000 images since 2016. That work means something, and I’m proud of it.
It wasn’t always easy. Like a lot of photographers in public affairs, I’ve seen the challenges when the craft isn’t always fully understood or valued. But I stayed true to it.
Now it’s time for the next chapter.
I’m not putting the camera down—just shifting focus. More community work, more storytelling, more of what matters.
Appreciate everyone who supported me along the way.
