Something You've Never heard

I grew up in a small house filled with love, not luxury. We didnt have evrything but there was a whole lot of lovethe things that mattered. That kind of upbringing teaches you something early. It teaches you that love is sacrifice, the kind you do quietly and consistently, the kind you don’t announce, the kind you simply carry.

The Army life meant we were always on the move. One day my mom had to leave for Desert Storm. She had to go fight for us, fight for our home, fight for the very chance that we could grow up safe. So we packed everything we had into a car and drove from Leesville, Louisiana all the way to Portland, Oregon.

We ended up on Northeast 9th and Thompson where my grandmother lived. She was a mail carrier who walked her routes with pride and purpose. Down in her basement she kept kilns and shelves of clay pieces in every stage of becoming. She taught me how to mold something from nothing. How to fire it. How to sit still long enough to paint something with intention. I didn’t know it at the time, but she was teaching me patience. She was teaching me artistry. She was teaching me how creation actually works.

She raised us for years while my mom was at war. Those years formed the foundation for everything I am today.

Life went on. I grew older. And eventually I became a locksmith and garage door tech. I was good at it. I worked eighty and ninety hour weeks. But none of that added up to a life I wanted. One day I walked away. No plan. No roadmap. Only a vision that my life could be more than what it was.

Photography found me the way freedom finds you when you need it most. It started with a drone. I crashed it. Returned it. Bought another. Learned. Failed. Learned again. And somewhere between those early morning flights over Portland sunrises, I felt peace for the first time in years. Real peace.

There are three places in my life where I feel truly free.

One is the gym where nobody needs anything from me and I get to just breathe.

Another is the mountain where every fall and every climb teaches me that the playing field is equal for everyone. The only difference is how much you are willing to sacrifice to grow. To fall. To look foolish until you do not. To outgrow the version of yourself that others decided you should be.

And the last is behind the camera where silence turns into clarity and preparation turns into art. Photography taught me that a moment is earned long before it is captured. You wake up early. You prepare. You study weather and light. You show up even when you don’t feel like it. The world rewards the ones who position themselves for the moment.

Proper preparation prevents poor performance. That became a truth in my life long before it became a phrase.

6K Visuals grew out of that truth. Every image here is more than a photograph. It is a story of overcoming. A story of shifting perspective. A story of choosing to see beauty where most people would only see another obstacle. This work represents the small victories that shaped me into the man I am today.

It is also a testament to my mother. Every early morning shoot. Every cold sunrise. Every mile I drove. Every moment of doubt I fought through. It all comes back to a simple truth.

I want to give her the life she gave me.

Every sacrifice she made. Every choice she carried.

This art is for her.

And now, it is for you.

When you bring one of these pieces into your home, you are not just buying a landscape. You are buying a moment of perspective. A reminder that you can rise above what tried to hold you down. You can outgrow the box people put you in. You can choose vision over circumstance. You can build a life that once existed only in your imagination.

This is my story. A story of failure, pain, sacrifice and triumph. A story of learning the hard way, showing up anyway and becoming something more.

Thank you for being here.
