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 65 years in business.

After High School, I studied commercial photography at the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies iat Daytona State.  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, someone new, meeting many people in many industries.  We often travel and 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)
