Create Your
IDENTITY.

To The Mentors Who Built The Foundation

I did not get here by accident. I am a product of the patience and guidance of others. To Mr. Mellon, thank you for teaching me that photography is about calculation, not luck. To Mr. Welch, thank you for showing me how to give structure to creativity. And to Bob, thank you for helping me launch that first clunky website back in 2016; All three of you planted the seed that grew into this career. Most importantly, to my late brother Travis: You were the first designer I ever looked up to. Losing you seven years ago broke my world, but it also gave me the resolve to finish what we both loved. This degree, and every part of this portfolio, is a continuation of your legacy.

To My Parents

To my parents, who taught me the true definition of hard work and never giving up. You were the ones who put that first camera in my hands, sparking a passion that would eventually define my future. Thank you for supporting me through every difficulty, for helping me navigate the challenges of my education, and for believing in this dream even when the road was hard.

To My Best Friend And Wife Jada

Jada, you are the anchor of our family. Thank you for the countless sacrifices you made so I could chase this dream. You managed our three children and our home while I worked long hours, only to come home and work all night on school. You understood the late nights, the stress, and the vision of Identity Flow Creative before it was even real. I literally could not have done this without you.

To The Future

Finally, to my children: I hope this journey proves to you that it is never too late to reinvent yourself. I know this road hasn't been easy on you, and I see the sacrifices you all made. As you grow and build your own futures, I hope you remember what this time taught us: even when things get hard, you don't quit. The job isn't done until it's done right. Thank you for being my "why."
