STATEMENT
I am a photographer who plays well with a team but is also a motivated, proactive self-starter. My photos have appeared everywhere from small community newspapers to the cover of People magazine. Whether I'm covering a local high school game or a major sporting event, I direct all my efforts into making each image the most beautiful and expressive it can be.
