Staff Photographer, Larchmont Yacht Club

I hold a BFA in Photography from SUNY Purchase, graduating Cum Laude and a member of the Honors Society. Since 2024 I've worked as Staff Photographer at Larchmont Yacht Club, documenting marine facilities, racing, and club life. Before that, I spent two years photographing sports and school groups for Lifetouch/Shutterfly, and six years as an Assistant Photographer and Photo Tech at AFPI Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

I also bring a technical, on location instinct from working as a commercial diver and marine technician. This experience has given me comfort operating under a wide range of circumstances and settings, on top of the events, commercial, and documentation work that make up most of my portfolio.
