For as long as I can remember, my dad has taken pictures at all of my games. He has been a professional photographer for most of his life and even spent six years photographing the Cincinnati Bengals. When I was younger, he would sometimes let me use his photography equipment, which sparked my interest in photography.

At the end of 2025, I traded my aunt an Xbox for a camera she wasn't using. I started photographing Nagel basketball games, and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed it. I began saving for a better camera, and since then, I've continued learning, improving my technique, and expanding into photographing different sports.

What I love most about photography is the opportunity to be creative while capturing the emotion, energy, and action of sports. Every game is different, and I love trying to capture those moments that athletes and their families will want to remember.

I've personally had the opportunity to work with Jacob while he photographed my daughters' volleyball and basketball games, and I've been so impressed watching his photography grow. He's passionate about what he does, and if you've attended a Forest Hills sporting event, there's a good chance you've seen him behind the camera!
