I started my business in 2007, after finishing a successful enlistment as a Green Beret in the Army’s 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne)... have a veteran-owned business, and I maintain a thriving commercial practice in addition to shooting weddings. While in the service, I was fortunate to find a beautiful, brilliant, talented, and exciting woman and I was wise enough to marry her. She is an important part of my business through her design sense, eye for details, and penchant for organization.
I spend much of my spare time studying the classics of documentary photojournalism, fashion photography, and portraiture. I believe in drawing influence from work that already has an established track record for timelessness. My favorite photographers include Richard Avedon, David Seidner, Edward Steichen, André Kertesz, Rene Burri, and Robert Frank among others.
