I have been a photographer since I was fifteen but only engaged in photography in the periphery while I worked in the automotive, sales, gift manufacturing, and video production fields. A few years ago, I came full circle and sold my first photograph ever! I have been developing as a photographer and artist since that sale, capturing the light, composition, and form necessary to produce photographs that hopefully have "soul". Whether I am doing professional sports photography or art print work, I try to capture that "soul" in all of my work. I have been fortunate to have as teachers: Charles Cramer, Ted Orland, Al Weber, Michael Frye, Stephen Johnson, Jim Beckett and many others.
