After the fun filled days of changing hot motor oil sixty hours a week, I spent 6 years building houses in three states before tiring of heat exhaustion and moving stacks of 3/4 inch plywood, although the allure of the smell of sawdust has never left.
After a BFA in Richmond, V.A., a 6-month Mexican adventure and a 3-year stint in New York City, I returned to Durham, North Carolina.
In 2017, my first feature length documentary film FARMER/VETERAN, chronicling one soldier’s domestic reintegration process after years at war, aired nationally on Independent Lens.
In 2018, I received an MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University for my After Golden Leaf series, looking at the changing physical and cultural landscape of North Carolina in a post-tobacco economy. I continue to work in eastern North Carolina chronicling the cultural and economic flux of the area.
I then served as an Instructor in the Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies at Duke through the Spring of 2020.
I hold dual citizenship in both the United States and Germany, so hey, let’s go work in Europe!
When not photographing, I play a lot of soccer, ride my skateboard, bike around and build stuff out of wood.
