I am a single dad raising two incredible kids. Life has been a journey filled with challenges, adjustments, and new dreams.  Losing my wife was a turning point that reshaped how I approach everything—from daily routines to long-term aspirations.  Between balancing work, parenting, and personal growth, I’ve found myself navigating a life that demands adaptability and resilience.  ​For years I’ve worked in IT and lately I’ve been feeling the weight of the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Work has become increasingly challenging, and while I have a strong technical background, I’ve started to explore a different path—one that aligns with my passions and allows me more freedom.  Photography has always been a passion of mine, but in 2025, I made the decision to turn it into something more. I founded Nine2Fly Photography—a venture that represents my desire to break free from the traditional work model and create a life where I can travel, explore, and capture the world through my lens while providing for my family.

​

My ultimate goal is to get paid to travel—to create a lifestyle where I can take my kids on adventures while documenting the world through my camera. Nine2Fly Photography is the first step in that direction. As I build my portfolio and grow the business, I hope to transition away from the traditional work environment and embrace a future where we’re exploring new places, meeting new people, and creating lasting memories together.  Through every challenge and every adventure, I am learning, adapting, and finding joy in the journey. This is my story, and it’s only just beginning.
