I have always had a great love for photography, all the way back to when I was 9 and wrote a paper for my third grade class on "How To Take A Picture". Along with my father's great love for photography and teachings, I knew that photography was my true passion.
I received my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Photography and Mass Communications from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. I am currently working on my Masters of Fine Art in Documentary and Commercial Photography through the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California.
My training and education is in fine art photography, portrait photography, commercial photography and photojournalism. Building on my experiences from working as a photographer within newspapers, ad agencies, portrait studios and being a professor of photography. I can handle any event with the professionalism that it deserves.
I have been published in a number of national newspapers, magazines, catalogs, websites and art galleries.
