Activities
I throw myself into my passions and, as a result, my life is filled with them. When I’m not scrupulously analyzing copy
(and when it’s not football season), I’m spending time with dogs. I do this through training my own dog, Oskar,
photographing clients’ dogs, and volunteering my photography services at the local animal rescue.
