From Himalayan hillsides to West African fishing villages, my work documents the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

I got my start in photojournalism at a local Colorado, USA, newspaper. From there, I went on to develop my documentary style of photography as a media missionary for a global evangelical denomination. Over nearly 10 years, I visited 26 countries to investigate and film stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

What I have tried to show through my work is this: whether climbing from earthquake-shaken ruins or being driven from home by civil war, people find a way to go on.

They rebuild.

They start over.

They gather the jagged shards of shattered dreams and piece them together into new vision for the future.

Mothers do laundry. Husbands help in the kitchen. Children get ready for school. Families go to worship.

From Belfast to Bangladesh and everywhere in between, the ways we do these things may look different, but why we do them is the same: love, faith, generosity … hope.

My work celebrates these poignant, slice-of-life moments that remain sharply familiar despite their vibrant diversity.
