I have a passion for visual storytelling. I cut my teeth in photography by covering sports for a small newspaper in Chicago. But I didn't do it by covering prep sports...I spent two years traveling the country covering the UFC. A few years later, I found myself at the Medill School of Journalism honing my video skills and added a new dimension to my passion. While I love sports, I'm not a one-trick pony. I'm a journalist...the world interests me. Everything from social justice to technology...I don't want to limit myself to just one beat.
