Hi and Welcome.....
I am an editorial / commercial photographer. I have the pleasure to work with great clients such as Entrepreneur, Runners World, The Source, Summit Business Media, Investment Advisor, Insurance Selling, Research, Beverage Media Group, Haymarket Business Media, DCI Marketing, Subaru Drive Magazine to name a few. I live in Michigan, work everywhere, which is both good and bad. Good because I am in the middle, which means I can get anywhere in the country in a timely manner. Bad... we have the Detroit Lions (kidding, actually making a show this year). A big advantage of being near Detroit is that I'm less then 6 hours by car to places like Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Toronto, and everywhere in between. The airlines can't always make that promise!
Non traditional means of becoming a photographer, 10 years in the US Navy, student at Southern Illinois University, 14 years in calibration / repair while running a photography business locally, various assisting, and the super experience of back to back years at the Santa Fe Work Shops, studying under Andrew Eccles and Frank Okenfels 3, have given me an advantage of interacting with all kinds of people, seeing the beautiful things they offer, and the ability to inject that into my portraits. Relating with people is what makes a great picture, and my past makes it a little easier for me to do just that.
Here is some of my work, please feel free to contact me.
