I started my content creation journey in high school, in the little town of Haslett in Mid-Michigan. I began creating videos for my school’s news team, where I was a co-anchor and story editor. After I graduated high school I thought I needed to move on from content creation. I thought there wasn’t a future for me in videography, let alone photography, which I didn’t find my passion for until the end of my college years.

I moved on, and began studying business at Michigan State University. I enjoy business, but I needed to get back to the content creation world. I shifted majors, and graduated with a bachelors degree in Media and Information.

Upon graduating, I found myself working as a news photographer for the morning show at the CBS news affiliate in Lansing. I spent about a year and a half in this role, where I covered everything from a NASCAR race, all the way to the mass shooting that occurred at Michigan State University in February 2023.

In April of 2023 I started a new position as an associate media specialist at Auto Owners Insurance. Outside of work I also like to do photography of my own, as you can see on the photography side of this website! Besides that I also co-own a classic Mustang with my dad that we enjoy taking to car shows and just cruising around. On top of all that my wife, Grace, and I just bought a house!
