I am an independent visual story teller based in Naples, Florida. My family has been in Florida since before statehood, and as a photographer I love the light, color, and people of this amazing state.

I studied photojournalism at Western Kentucky University, and have worked as a staff photographer at three newspapers, and interned at four others.

Over the years my freelance clients have included The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, Time, ESPN The Magazine, Newsweek, Volkswagen, Visit Florida, CVS Health, and Major League Baseball.

I specialize in editorial, travel, and commercial photography, as well as video. I love to travel. I love eye candy, and I love story telling images. Sometimes I'm able to do both in a single photo, and that makes me very happy.

I am a FAA 107 certified drone pilot, and specialize in aerial imaging of Florida. Photography is my creative outlet, and I can't imagine ever putting down the camera.
