Bio
• I'm a photographer and videographer for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, my alma mater.
• I spent two decades as a staff photojournalist for several major metropolitan newspapers from Florida to Washington state.
• Thanks to a Racial Justice Fellowship from the University of Southern California's Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism, I created a multimedia project that focused on south Florida hip-hop recording artists who address social issues in their communities in spite of the traditionally commercial landscape of the local music industry.
• I created and produced an award-winning music video series for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called LISTEN which profiled local musicians through documentary film and photography.
• Vintage Polaroid cameras that still work make me happy.
• Atlanta is my hometown which makes me a true ATLien (shout out to Outkast) so I always roll with all of my ATL sports teams as well as all things in the shade of Carolina blue.
• The pinnacle of my athletic success was a brief stint on the bench of my middle school football team. There is a photo in the school yearbook that proves it.
• Secretly, I've always wanted to be a DJ and have people dance and nod their heads to the music I play...although I wouldn't mind being a super hero either, but I won't wear tights.
