I love making images. As a child I could not express myself through art the way I wanted and a smart teacher told me to try photography so I could manipulate in the darkroom. Bam, that was all it took I actually began in a graphic arts class, moved to photography class, all the while taking art history class. I also took local college classes in photography while still in High School. After graduation I moved to Dayton Ohio and attended Ohio Institute of Photography. Two years later moved to California and worked for Sports and Schools photography. Now many moons later I manage a wholesale business and am just recently getting back into shooting for profit and not just fun. I consider myself an image maker and will use whatever tools I need to accomplish my goals but everything begins with a photograph. I am married to a wonderful woman for over 16 years now, 4 kids aged 14, 11, 8 and 8, two dogs (a Beagle and a Boxer/Pit mix, 4 cats and one fish. We spend a lot of time outdoors during the summer since the sun only sets for 4 hours a night we do love it. We hunt, fish, camp, canoe, hike etc. etc.
