In the last two years I have discovered photography and it has opened my eyes to endless possibilities. Moving to New York has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I am finding my adult self here and keeping an open mind to what the world has to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the hardest things I've done was climbing Mt Fuji. While touring Japan with the Broadway show Blast! Half the cast decided to climb the Mt. On the way up the Mt. my entire lower body started to cramp and all of my muscles locked. I was no longer able to walk and was stuck on the side of the Mt. by myself. A bunch of the locals tried to help me, but I am much bigger then most Japanese people. Luckily a cast member showed up 2 hours later and had to literally move my legs for me. We made it to one of cabins and slept over night. The next morning I was faced with the decision to finish the hike or cut a cross the Mt. and head back down. I obviously made the tough decision to keep going... The Sunrise on top of that Mt. was the most beautiful this I've ever seen.

Countries I’ve Visited
