I began my professional career in IT as a Systems Analyst in Nashville, Tennessee, before returning to upstate New York in 2002 to embark on a successful career as a Real Estate Associate Broker in the greater Glens Falls area. An aspiration to enhance my real estate photography skills, along with a deep desire to capture my two daughters, who were immersed in competitive dance, motivated me to pursue a formal education in photography to master the craft. My artistic journey through the Media Arts program at nearby SUNY Adirondack fine-tuned my skills, introduced off-camera lighting, and brought me a profound sense of peace and fulfillment through the creative process which surprisingly provided an outlet for my technical skills through editing.
