My journey to now has been a long and winding road. A Psychologist by training, I’m well-versed in Behaviorism and used to teach concepts like Conditioning to undergraduates in the classroom. Fast forward a decade or so, and I found myself immersed in the world of dog training and hunt tests watching talented trainers put those psychological theories into practice to get incredible results. This life change inspired me to take my photography hobby more seriously, and I launched DC Photos Midwest in 2025.
