I was born in Vietnam and raised in Sylvania growing up as a child. I have two younger sisters who both live in the area and my father is a retired medical physician. I was adopted at 6 months of age and found my biological family in 2018. I traveled to Vietnam to meet them for the first time and was reunited with my 5 older brothers and 1 older sister. Currently, I’m a photographer and my love for photography started many years ago while standing outside waiting for the school bus. The morning colors in the sky always seemed more vibrant and gave me some inner peace that I enjoyed. Fast forward, I picked up photography many years later and it all just kinda made sense to me. I started out with landscape photography, then real estate, then portrait work. I do video work as well and get a great sense of satisfaction knowing I’ve created something unique.
