Sports, media, and photography captivated me early on. But my story really took shape on the paintball field.

At first, I was deep in the competition, chasing adrenaline, strategy, and victory. But something felt off—it wasn’t quite my path. Then came the pivot. Instead of dodging paintballs, I picked up a camera, shifting my focus from playing to capturing. I wanted to freeze the game’s raw energy, to highlight the unwavering determination on players’ faces, the grit, the passion, the unspoken camaraderie.

Photography gave me something that competing never could. It turned every event into a reunion, every practice into an opportunity to reconnect with friends from all over the country. Through the lens, I found my place—not as a player, but as a storyteller, preserving the moments that make the sport unforgettable.
