Mentoring and Education
Sometimes Private Instruction is the Fastest Path to Growth
Why Learn With Me?
If you’ve got a passion for photography, videography, podcasting, or even starting your own business, I can help you shape that into something real. I spent over 15 years in the Fortune 50 world, another decade as a professional photographer, and I’ve started more than a few businesses along the way. In short, I’ve been in the trenches, and I know what it takes.
I’m still an active working professional. That means the advice you’ll get from me isn’t recycled theory—it’s what I’m learning and applying every day in my own work. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a serious career shift, I’ll give you practical guidance to get where you want to go.
Mentoring with me is personal. It’s a chance to sort through ideas, sharpen your skills, and build confidence step by step. Every creative path begins with small, deliberate moves, and booking a session could be the one that changes everything for you.
If you’re ready to find your voice and build something that matters, let’s talk.
