I am a freelance photographer living with my wonderful family in Howard County, Maryland. I was born and raised in Tennessee and received a BA in Photojournalism from Western Kentucky University (GO HILLTOPPERS!!) I began my newspaper career my freshman semester of college working for a weekly in Franklin, KY. After graduating I moved around the country working for various newspapers before landing at the Carroll County Times in Westminster, MD before moving to Ocean City to work for Gannett. After leaving Gannett, I went to work for Journal Communications, Inc. in Franklin, TN. The job took me all over the country and on one of the trips, I met my future wife Karen, who is from Westminster. It wasn't long before I moved back to Maryland and began working for myself.

These days, I concentrate on architectural photography, restaurant and food photography, editorial photography and corporate photography. 

A couple of college buddies and I get together each year for a hiking trip (you will see some of those images in this site), but I love hiking around Maryland with my family and friends. We love the trails around Howard County and the Catoctin Mountains but for some reason, cannot talk Karen into going camping. I believe it has a lot to do with spiders.
