I grew up in rural Kansas outside Kansas City and now call Springfield, IL my home. I have over 35 years’ experience primarily photographing commercial and natural photography while dabbling in lifestyle and still life as well. I was awarded thed degree of Master of Photography by the Professional Photographers of America.

Photography has afforded me the opportunity to travel around the world. I absolutely love my job and everything that comes with it. The people I meet, places I go, the hours I keep, and the spontaneity in every shoot. What other job has you miles below ground in a coal mine one day, hanging out of a helicopter the next, and then in a suit and tie covering the governor’s inauguration that weekend.
