I bought my first camera at age 8. After working for my high school and college yearbook staff I never thought I would make a living in photography. 23 years later I still get excited with every new day and the photographic challenges it brings. Although digital has changed the photography business, I like it because it put a lot of the creative control back in the hands of the photographer. Specializing in portrait and sports photography those creative controls have never been more in demand. I have covered the last 22 Indy 500’s as well as the IndyCar series, Brickyard 400’s, Formula One, Moto GP as well as football, and basketball games throughout Indianapolis. But I have found that being my harshest critic and demanding the best has constantly pushed me to improve my work. Always looking for the unique angle has taught me that there is more than one perspective even from a place like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The fact that it has been around for over 100 years has made that challenge of finding the unique location even more fun. Working for large corporate clients has been very demanding but the rewards of a job well done make it all worthwhile. It’s a lot easier to love your job when you truly love what you do and enjoy going to work.
