~ Professional, with an Eye for the Lighter Side ~

I came to photography in a very chance way. I took Photo 101 as my art credit in college while majoring in biology.

Organic chemistry and I were not getting along the same semester I was holding a camera for the first time.

While I couldn't make my bonds work in the lab, I did grasp that if you turned the camera vertically you would not get pictures of people laying on their side. (True story of a fellow student.)

I knew I was not destined for an office job, and I have always thrived on a short deadline, so journalism was an obvious choice.

I spent 14 years as a staff photographer for a daily newspaper in suburban Philadelphia.

I have covered sports from the pros to kids on the playground.

I have won numerous awards from the national to the local level, including the AP Managing Editors Award.

I am a workaholic and I love my career. I take the skills it requires to be a successful journalist into my corporate, commercial, editorial and stock images. My client list includes international, national and regional companies, magazines and newspapers.

I've ridden horses the majority of my life, and thus much of my stock involves horses in sport and at home. I primarily cover the three Olympic disciplines being located in eastern Pennsylvania, which places me in a prime area for this market.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work, stock image needs, or are in need of a photographer.
