I’m an engineer and artist who’s spent a lifetime blending technical expertise with creative vision. After launching my IT career in the U.S. Navy at 18, I went on to serve as a software engineer, Systems Engineer, and ultimately a Lockheed Martin Fellow and Chief IT Systems Architect before retiring in 2022. Along the way, photography evolved from a personal passion into a parallel profession, taking me around the world to capture landscapes, cityscapes, and street scenes—work later featured on Getty Images, 500px, and Alamy. Editorial assignments with On Tap and District Fray strengthened my ability to photograph people and events, laying the foundation for the professional media services I now provide. Today, I focus full‑time on photography, videography, and aerial imaging as an FAA‑certified drone pilot, offering high‑impact media for business, corporate, and real estate clients across Northern Virginia and the DC Metro area.
