about

I'm a landscape and nature photographer focusing on the Two River's area of Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA. Born and raised in Fair Haven, I was surrounded by the outdoors. From living in beautiful Monmouth County, to childhood family camping trips to majestic Maine, I grew an appreciation for nature at an early age. I feel very fortunate to have grown up here on the peninsula.

I started a landscape company at the age of 15 while attending Rumson - Fair Haven Regional High School. After earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism at Rutgers University, I decided to expand my landscaping business.

Working outdoors has given me plenty of subject material for my hobby "photography". I find myself focusing on both land and seascapes. Early morning sunrises are my favorite. I also try to incorporate the moon or a planet which adds to the challenge. I don't think I'll ever get bored striving for the "perfect shot".
