About

Creative by trade.
Competitive by nature.

I grew up on a soccer field — played D1 on scholarship in college, and still lace up every weekend. Some habits are just too good to quit.

These days, the most important part of my life is my family. I have a son who makes everything better, and I spend as much time as possible with the people who matter most. I'm pretty sure that's where all the good ideas come from, too.

When I'm not designing or chasing a ball, I'm shooting photography — mostly families and newborns — traveling somewhere I've never been, or deep in some hobby that has absolutely nothing to do with a screen. Dirtbikes, wakeboards, a perfectly scored sourdough, and warm-water scuba dives are my version of balance.

My people — the whole reason any of this matters.

What I'm actually into.

Soccer
D1 scholarship, lifelong player. Still competing in weekend leagues — the field is my reset button.
Photography
I photograph families and newborns. There's nothing better than capturing a moment that'll matter forever.
Travel & Food
Chasing great cuisine and even better cocktails. Always looking for the next place I've never been and the dish I've never tried.
Scuba Diving
Warm ocean, great visibility, zero deadlines. Some of my favorite places in the world are underwater.
Dirtbiking
Nothing clears your head like being in the dirt with no signal. It's the most analog thing I do.
Wakeboarding
On the water every chance I get. There's a flow state to it that feels a lot like good design, honestly.
Sourdough Baking
The kind of hobby that starts at 11pm and takes three days. My starter has a name. I'm not embarrassed.
Family
My son and the people I love are what everything else is in service of. Biggest influence on how I think about what matters.
