Before interning with PCMag, I worked as a photojournalist and sports photographer. Prior to that, I served in the U.S. Navy as an avionics technician and am presently using my GI Bill to attend CUNY’s Craig Newmark School of Journalism as a member of the 2023 graduating cohort.
As an intern with PCMag this year, I will get hands-on experience reporting and writing on tech news and product reviews for everything from consumer electronics to gaming computers for publication. I will also draw on my past experiences to photograph for stories when necessary and hopefully test out some cool cameras.

I went through a whole “Van Life” phase and had to trade my gaming tower for an MSI Gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, and upgraded 32GB of RAM. It can’t run 8K visuals on a huge monitor, but it runs Diablo 4 beautifully at 1080p and gets the job done for now.
Camera-wise, I am a Sony fanboy through and through and an early adopter of the Sony A7 line of groundbreaking mirrorless cameras. These days, I like carrying around a Sony A7RIV as my primary camera and my older A7RII for my secondary when I’m out taking pics.
Software-wise, you’ll find me doing most of my photo and video workflow in Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and Lightroom and occasionally prompting Midjourney for AI art and illustrations (most recently for my D&D campaign)
