I am a graduate of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois University where I studied design and photography. I have been a practicing graphic designer for 11 going on 12 years and have had a love of photography for as long as I can remember.

While at NIU I found graphic design to be a better way to make a living, and photography a better way to make art. Much of my work is centered on the natural and man-made world around me, wherever I am at the moment. I am simply trying to find a differing viewpoint from which to shoot.

In the last year, with the encouragement of my wife Kelene, I have left the full time world of graphic design to freelance and devote more time to photography and art. A very special thanks to her.
