About

David Dupuis is a fifth-year Computer Science student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Originally an aviation student, he made the switch to his current program after obtaining his private pilot certificate at age 19. He has nearly a decade of photography experience, first picking up a DSLR in 2016. Since then, he has traveled around the world, documenting everything from aviation to architecture. In 2020, he was published in TRAINS Magazine after winning the grand prize in their nationwide "In The City" photography contest.

Outside of photography, David has remained heavily involved in the aviation industry. He has over a year's worth of industry experience on the software side, participating in internships at Cirrus Aircraft and Garmin International.

In his free time, David loves to build and fix computers, go bowling, play guitar, and go on hikes. He is probably getting involved in a new hobby as we speak.

Hi! My name is Jay Sanders and I have a passion for all forms of media. From catching local shows in St. Louis to doing street photography in Downtown Chicago, I am always looking for different ways to express myself.

I am looking to develop my skills as a photographer and videographer by shooting anything and everything I can. The world of racing in particular stands out as an area of interest to me.

In my freetime, you can catch me sim racing, playing my guitar, or spending time outside.
