I am a volleyball dad turned passionate photographer to capture our busy season.

A Volleyball Journey

My story begins with volunteering as an assistant coach when my daughter was in 3rd grade. I soon became passionate about the sport and coached for many years. Now, as a parent, I spent hours cheering for from the sidelines but felt there was something missing. Watching them grow and excel in the sport was great, but how do you capture these moments.

Discovering Photography

It was during one of those volleyball tournaments, with my trusty camera in hand, that my love for photography was sparked.

The excitement and emotions on the court, the camaraderie among players, and the intensity of each match presented an endless canvas for my lens.

I quickly realized that photography was my way of preserving these moments, freezing them in time for everyone to enjoy.

Why Photography Matters to Me

While it may have started as a hobby, Photography is now a way of life for me. It allows me to connect with people, places, and moments in a profound way. Each click of the shutter is an opportunity to tell a story, evoke emotion, and share the beauty of the world as I see it.
