My background includes a degree in photojournalism from the University of Kansas, and extensive experience in the film industry where I worked as a camera operator and director of photography on many commercials and feature films. In particular my specialty was snow skiing or skating on ice or pavement with a film camera. I was a principal creative in the heyday of the Greg Stump ski films and MTV Sports. My work can also be seen in the feature films Mighty Ducks 2 & 3, Mystery Alaska, MotoCrossed, Johnny Tsunami as well as the "Team Tiger" Frosted Flakes sports-oriented commercials.
I spent several years as a ski instructor in Colorado, was the marketing photographer for Vail ski area, and was a principal photographer for SKI Magazine.
In 2000 I was offered a stills job on an automotive website startup, and although the website went away I have been busy and successful shooting of cars, motorcycles and events ever since.
Recent stills clients include: Honda, Genesis, Volvo, 000 Magazine, PANORAMA Magazine, KIA, FENDI, Porsche, and Nissan. I shot both still and video assignments (which I also edited) for ROAD & TRACK Magazine, until they moved away from Southern California.
Favorite activities include traditional Karate, ShitoRyu (black belt), skiing, ITF Taekwondo (black belt), and traveling the world with my wife and son.
