Trey Govero walks me through the art of route setting at Upper Limits indoor rock climbing gym in St. Louis. Route setting truly is an art form, one that climbers get to physically interact with, which is pretty amazing.

On November 11th I had the chance to photograph the USA Climbing Youth Series Gateway Boulder Bash 2023 regional climbing competition at Upper Limits Chesterfield. It was an honor to capture these young climbers in their element.

It was an honor helping my friends, and first-time home-buyers, who were relocating to St. Louis purchase this charming St. Louis Gingerbread home in South City’s South Hampton neighborhood.

Often patients pays, and that’s exactly what happened with this cashflowing 2-unit multi-family property in Carondelet Park in South City St. Louis.
