There’s a lot to share and I’m unsure of the amount of space with which I have to work. To keep it short, I’ve been lucky enough to pack nearly a lifetime of experience both personally and professionally into my 29 years on earth. Professionally, I’ve been working as a photojournalist/visual artist for nearly a decade. I started following my uncle, a successful photojournalist of 40+ years around when I was 18 years old, then went to Arizona State University and served as the only full-time photographer on the schools nationally-acclaimed student newspaper, before transitioning to ASU’s “SBNation” affiliate known as “House of Sparky” where I was fortunate enough to have my work showcased on a national scale.

After moving back to Pittsburgh in 2022, I started freelancing for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, covering all High School and College Sports in the area, in addition to working a short contracted stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2023-2024 NHL regular season. I’ve also been working for 247 Fighting Championships since the summer of 2023. With all of the local connections I’ve developed since my return to the city, I was motivated me to start “ACPallaMedia”, a brand hybriding sports and art from photography/Videography/Graphic Design, all the way to fashion.
