I was born and raised in Upstate New York. My interest in digital media started when I was a child.
Creativity has always seemed to be a part of my life. At a very young age I became fascinated with cameras.
I used to do chores around the house so I could save up to buy a camera, I bought a point and shoot 35mm Olympus.
My mom taught me to load film and when to use a flash, and from there everything grew.
Video and film have always been
an inspiration to me, and in high school I started to take video and photography seriously. I took a black and
white photography class and after school, my friend and I would stay and play on the school's computers editing
little videos we shot. This was when I realized that I wanted to do video as my life.
I started to become interested in website design and developement at around the same time, and one summer when
I had sprained my ankle, my friend taught me the basics of HTML. Since that summer, I have been making websites
in my spare time and now I have a couple that I have freelanced for companies and bands.
I moved to Philadelphia for college where all of my interests and skills in digital media have progressed.
My artwork is my life. Art, film, and literature play a major role in my life, I feel that these things
can be seen in my work as well.
