“I can’t even accurately explain how it feels to be recognized on such a large platform, but I can say that each story captured has made me more open-minded and grateful to be in the best Air Force in the world! Photography changed my life, the people I photographed have changed my life and my passion for the craft have made me who I am today.

I pray that the photographs captured continue to give a voice to the voiceless!

Thanks to my family, mentors, friends, fellow Airmen and everyone that I’ve photographed along the way. I’m truly shooting from the eye of my heart…”
