Driven by Nostalgia. Grounded in Connection.
Cars, the backstory
It usually starts with a toy car.
A Hot Wheels tucked into a stocking. A Matchbox rattling around in a pocket. Hours spent racing them across furniture and through imaginary cities.
Mine never really disappeared.
The years brought car clubs, road trips, and chances to experience some remarkable cars firsthand. Eventually they also brought me back to those tiny versions I'd loved as a kid.
What started as photography became artwork.
Today, my work is inspired by the intersection of nostalgia, design, and the cars that stay with us long after childhood. Porsche has become a favorite muse, but every piece begins with the same idea: celebrating the machines and memories that shaped us.
Because sometimes the things we loved first turn out to be the things we love most.
Coffee, the connection
My first memory of coffee isn't drinking it. It's smelling it.
A fresh pot at my grandpa's house. The kind of aroma that made a place feel warm before you even stepped inside.
Years later, I've come to love coffee for the same reason I love cars. Both bring people together.
Around a table. In a garage. At Cars & Coffee gatherings. Neighbors become friends, strangers become acquaintances, and conversations unfold naturally.
The coffee matters. The cars matter. But the connection matters most.
In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, those simple moments of gathering still feel special. Maybe that's why I keep coming back to both.
Driving connection one mile and cup at a time.
