Sports has always been a passion of mine ever since I was kid growing up in Lynwood, California. Whether it was playing “Home Run Derby” with my older brother in our front yard or winning a championship in my school’s basketball team , I always enjoyed the feeling of competition.

As I got older, I developed a passion for the sports moments captured behind the lens . I truly fell in love with the images I would see the next day in the newspaper or in a magazine after a big game or major championship. I couldn’t believe that there were people whose jobs would be to capture those historic moments that would make all of our jaws drop. I soon realized that history would never be erased when there’s a photographer nearby with a full battery and unlimited inspiration.

I’m here to be part of those moments in history that will hopefully inspire a child in the future to do the same thing for their generation.
