Born and raised in Metro Detroit (Northville, MI to be exact). I moved to Orlando, Florida in the early 2000’s but came back to Michigan to finish college after about 4 years in the sunshine state. I graduated from Wayne State University located in the heart of Detroit, MI where I earned my BFA specializing in Photography and have been freelancing since 2005.
In 2022, I started shooting for Getty Images which was a goal and dream of mine since before college. I’m honored and humbled to be part of this world renown network of photographers, artists and content creators. Currently, I specialize in professional golf coverage for Getty, which includes the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, Korn Ferry Tour & LPGA. I enjoy traveling around the country to capture the worlds elite golfers. Covering golf offers unique photo possibilities which you can’t find in many other sports. Did I mention I love golf as well!
I’ve also shot for USA TODAY Sports Images where I spent a full decade covering events in my region of the country. Some of my past assignments include the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, LPGA, NASCAR, IndyCar, MMA, Wrestling, AAU Junior Olympics, various NCAA events and professional eGaming events.
In addition to sports, I spend a large amount of my time shooting weddings, portraits, branding, commercial, corporate and various other special events. I treat all my assignments with the utmost importance. Whether it’s a NBA playoff game or a casual portrait session around town, the goal is always the same, to create unique and beautiful images that will stand the test of time.
I’d love to work with you! Please contact me and we can start planning your shoot.
