In 2023, I moved from Ohio to Western Washington and am now proud to call the beautiful city of Olympia home. I chose Olympia when searching for a new base of operations because of its incredible location, situated directly between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific coast, with easy access to the greater Seattle metropolitan area. As an avid nature photographer, I knew Olympia and the PNW were the right choice. In my free time, I am frequently on the road to one of the region's many National Parks and campgrounds, chasing the light for new landscape and wildlife shots.

In my previous career, I worked as a professional graphic designer and prepress operator, leading an in-house design team for an offset printing company. Deciding I wanted a career change alongside my change of scenery, I combined my photography skills with my managerial and design experience to found Emerald Estates Studios, my own real estate media company. It has been an exciting venture over the past few years, with every day bringing new learning opportunities and fresh challenges.

As the sole owner, manager, photographer, and editor behind Emerald Estates Studios, I never have a boring day. It is my absolute pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to providing you with a seamless, world-class experience.
