I was raised in the mid-west but have spent most of my adult life on the East Coast. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively in pursuit of images and adventure. My work has appeared in publications, exhibits, and collections. I currently reside in Maryland with my best friend and wife of several decades, along with my little pal Cooper, a Cairn terrier.

If my style of story telling, that is, documentary, spontaneous, and monochromatic is of interest to you or your organization, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome a conversation to see if I can be of service.

I am part of the Glass photography community.
