Photography began as a hobby and a way to connect with my father;himself an advanced amateur, Dad put a camera in my hands on my tenth birthday. Over the years I've worked to improve my ability to see, and through travels with my family, have been able to capture images from a variety of places.
I graduated with a B.A. in history from Grinnell College in 2006, and am presently working on a masters in photojournalism at the University of Missouri.
