As a writer and photographer, my passion is pairing prose and photos to create a compelling story.
I am equal parts world-traveler and homebody, and on my Substack I enjoy writing about my international adventures as well as my life here in Michigan.
My hope is that through my words and images you'll be left inspired to see the world, and encouraged to find your place in it.
