I first picked up photography when I joined the U.S. Navy in 2014. From there, my passion for photography grew more and more. After returning from deployment, I was afforded the opportunity to photograph the Dominion Derby Girls and Mid-Atlantic Roller Derby of Virginia Beach, Va. While photographing roller derby and meeting different skaters, I soon discovered park quad skating and knew I had stumbled into a very special world that had to be shared with everyone. I currently reside in Florida with my family and am enjoying the sunshine state for all that it can offer.
