Athletes are people

people are what's important

“Everyone wants a part when it's boomin, but no one wants to help build.”

Since Day 1


I joined Charlotte MLS 2021 in March of 2020 through a position at Tepper Sports & Entertainment, with the club set to launch its inaugural season the following year. There were 8 employees dedicated to working on launching this new brand and sports property.


In April 2022, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I spent a season with the Carolina Panthers, all the while working on what would be known to the world as Charlotte Football Club in the background. Fast forward to Charlotte FC's inaugural season in 2022, I had the honor and privilege of capturing all of the club's historic firsts from start to finish as the first Team Photographer. The fellas took the pitch for the first time on February 28, 2022.


I've taken and edited millions of photos for this team for multiple seasons, but here are a few of my favorites.
