About Me

I was born in Poland and came to Chicago at 10 years old with my family chasing the American Dream—and escaping Communism. My first jobs were the classics: flipping burgers at McDonald’s, stocking shelves at Target, loading trucks at UPS, and even pushing wheelchairs at Midway. (You name it, I probably clocked in there.)

Then I joined the U.S. Navy. Days after boot camp, 9/11 happened, and I found myself aboard the USS Carl Vinson, maintaining the legendary F-14 Tomcat. Working on a $38 million jet taught me two things: teamwork and that “don’t screw up” isn’t just a saying—it’s survival. Later, I became a Navy photographer, and that’s where my passion for imagery really took off.

After my service, I started photographing exotic cars—Ferraris, Lambos, Rolls—but one day a Realtor friend asked me to shoot a listing. I said yes…and the rest is home-shooting history. Homes have heart, and I love bringing that to life through my lens.

Now I capture Chicago’s most stunning properties—photo, video, drone, staging, and more—with the same precision I learned in the Navy. I run my business with discipline, creativity, and coffee strong enough to impress Joe Rogan.

My proudest title, though, isn’t photographer—it’s Dad. My daughter Olivia is my inspiration, sidekick, and the reason I push to make every home look its absolute best.
