I am an Emmy Award-winning journalist and visual artist who uses portraiture as a vehicle to create narrative experiences that arrive at the intersection of defiance, vulnerability and unapologetic truth. Much of my work focuses on amplifying the richness and complexities within communities of color. However, overall I’m intrigued by humanity and the range of emotions that exist under the protective armor we create to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Some of my recent works have been on display at NoName Gallery (Chestnut Hill, PA), The Halide Project (Philadelphia) and TILT Philadelphia.  I exhibited at Hot Bed Philly SUMMERHOUSE (June 2021) and was previously featured at “In the Commons,” a group show by Philadelphia Photo Arts Center at Cherry Street Pier in Philadelphia (April 2021). Some of my solo exhibits include Unharnessed (Philly Art Collective, April 2019), Life in Progress (World Wide Mind Gallery, Los Angeles 2014), Cinematic Streets (Andre Allen Studio, Miami Beach, 2013) and Portraits of Wisdom (Greater Hartford Arts Council, Hartford, CT 2012).

When I am not shooting, I step in front of the camera as the Sports Director and lead Sports Anchor at CBS News Philadelphia. Before that, I helped launch Fox Sports 1 and anchored SportsCenter and other shows on ESPN’s family of networks. I have covered everything from the Super Bowl and World Series to Triple Crown horse racing. I earned two undergraduate degrees from Boston University and a Masters from the Northwestern Medill School of Journalism.

 

I have been covering sports for more than a decade while shooting photography for two. I invite you to run the bases with me and enjoy the journey -- one hit at a time.

 

Carpe Diem!
