2025
Nothing moved faster than this year. I went into this new cycle wanting nothing but more reps, and that’s exactly the opportunity that I received.
I got to work with my faves
@localwolves and
@unclearmag , photographed Lollapalooza for
@itszoeko and
@joepthehyena , and stopped around
@vanswarpedtour on behalf of the
@ernieball team. I also met a ton of cool people while photographing Kilby Block Party which gave me some much needed momentum for the rest of the year.
2025 was also a year I became very critical of myself. Sometimes, its helpful to see your work objectively and find out ways to get better. Other times, I played the comparison game with dozens of other very talented people out there, which is a battle that never really ends lol.
Next year, i’m hoping I can clean a LOT of stuff up. I'm so excited on some of the ideas I have cooking, and I can't wait to get after it and check off all those boxes.
I love what I do, and allllllll of the awesome people that I have met on this journey of mine, but I still have so much to learn and room to grow—2026 feels like it’s going to be a year that a lot of things start making sense.
I stayed sober from alcohol for a whole year. I listened to over 76,000 minutes of music. I made a whole lot of new friends, and made deeper connections with those who were already in my life. I went outside a lot and pet a lot of good dogs which is probably what i'm most proud of.
Anyways, i’m usually not super personal on this page, even though I feel like an open book if you’ve ever met me in person, so maybe that's something i'll change. To everyone that I’ve worked for/alongside, I genuinely appreciate you and hope that our paths cross again. I never want to take my opportunities for granted, so thank you thank you thank you. I hope this year was good for you, too.
