I have been a full time professional photographer since 2001.  Raised in the photography business, my dad introduced me to the darkroom at age 5.  Years later,  I proudly continue the tradition of operating the studio with over 50 years in business.

After High School, I studied commercial photography at the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach, Florida.  I am also a graduate of Warner University with a degree in Business Management.

Best thing about my job is that everyday I am photographing somewhere different, somewhere new, meeting different people.  I have shot for clients throughout the country and with the help of my crew we have won a ton of awards.

Industry Credentials:
Master Photographer (M.Photog.)
Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)
Florida Degree of Photographic Excellence (FDPA)
