In addition to my years as an independent photographer, I have worked for more than two decades as a staff photographer for The Columbus Dispatch, The Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, and ThisWeek Newspapers and I was a photographer for the Zondervan “Sunday in America” book project.  As Media/Public Relations Director for the Columbus March for Jesus, I produced a 175% increase in attendance from the previous year.

I have photographed some of the most famous and infamous people in the world, including every US President from Jimmy Carter to Joe Biden, but what I really enjoy is documenting ordinary life, from the joys of two people coming together at a wedding, to breaking news. As any good journalist knows, these stories are all around us.  I look forward to working with you to tell your stories.

What I Do:

• commercial photography • advertising photography
• VR panorama photography • corporate photography
• editorial photography • photo editing, assigning & scheduling
• documentary photography • portrait photography
• sports photography • multimedia photography
• time lapse photography • news photography

Have Passport, will travel – domestic & international assignments routinely accepted.
