Author Biography

At 14, I was handed a spare camera at a gala and told to shoot. That moment lit a fuse, and I haven't looked back since. Growing up in Dallas, my life was shaped by weekends spent between racetracks and rodeo arenas. I wasn’t just a spectator; I immersed myself in the Western way of life, working as a ranch hand and learning the discipline and resilience that defines the grit of the West. Today, I channel that lived experience into my work as a Creative Director, capturing stories that feel honest, alive, and deeply rooted in authenticity. My path has always been about the intersection of people and media. From 2023 to 2025, I founded and launched Uprising, a startup collective dedicated to providing mentorship and leadership resources to underprivileged youth across the DFW area. Whether I was working with local churches or serving as a private contractor for organizations like Stronger Families and Gasoline, my goal has always been to use media as a tool for impact. Through these roles—serving as both a spokesperson and a creative lead I’ve refined my voice in PR, interviewing, and high-level production. After earning my credentials in Entrepreneurship and Creative Writing, I felt called to move further West. Now based in Boise, Idaho, I am dedicated to document the strength of the Western spirit. My faith remains the foundation of everything I do; as I step into this next chapter, I am committed to growing in wisdom, honoring the stories of the people I meet, and letting God guide my steps as I carry my ministry and my craft into new ground.
