Some geckos can even "parachute" fly - leaping up to 200 feet in a single bound (so efficient!). - ANYTHING ELSE?- I was married in Stillwater and live here with my family just a mile from the downtown area. We love this beautiful river town and all that it has to offer!

JOSH DIRECTOR of STUDIO + ESCAPE ROOM operations PHOTOGRAPHER - WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR JOB? - I could say my favorite part of my job is the variety, or the creativity, or the excitement of getting an awesome image that no one has ever taken, but I would be leaving out the most important part.

Whether it is at a staff meeting, photoshoot or running one of our escape rooms, the people are who I keep showing up for! - FUN FACT - My wife and I travel around the world whenever we get the chance and have a goal to see every continent before our 40th birthdays.

I love watching our amazing staff and clients celebrate life in the spaces we have worked so hard to create. - FUN FACT - When I play skee ball, I always shoot for the "100". - SPIRIT ANIMAL - A Chameleon, I really wanted a flying chameleon but if we are going fantasy I guess a talking, flying unicorn that can shoot fireworks.. - ANYTHING ELSE?- I used to be a math teacher and baseball/football coach and taught myself photography which led to the multiple wedding and events businesses.
