I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, but now I live in Ohio, traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I shifted my focus from studying Mechanical Engineering at The Ohio State University to pursue my creative aspirations. I currently run a fashion photography and filmmaking company (meeksmedia.com).
