AJ
Raised in Indiana, found my home in Colorado and these days, you'll usually find me behind a controller, watching a story unfold from a few hundred feet up.
I'm FAA Part 107 certified and genuinely passionate about capturing perspectives most people never get to see.
Sixteen years on the wrestling mat shaped how I work: preparation matters, every detail matters, and you never cut corners. I bring that same discipline to every project paired with a creative eye that's always sharpening.
I've never been afraid of starting over or betting on myself.
