I've been a photographer since 1975, that's when I earned a camera by selling enough wrapping paper or candy (or something like that) for my 5th grade class. Through the years, I've been a high school newspaper and yearbook shooter, a college yearbook editor and most recently a Dad who loves to shoot his kids' sports teams. I make a little money shooting kids' sports, but not enought to quit my day job as a DoD Civilian working in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. One day, I'd love to be able to own and operate a studio full-time and make a living doing what I love.
