I have been a photographer almost as long as I can remember, my parents let me use a Kodak camera that they had from about the time I was 8yrs old to create printed memories of special events at school and on family vacations. The fire that was lit back then burns even stronger today. I have always been passionate about history and creating images today that will bring people in the future back to today. I have combined my passion for photography with that of my love for the american automotive culture and passion for all types of music. My Travels over the past several years have taken me to events throughout Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.... essentially all over the midwest! I have had Freelance work Published in Ol Skool Rodz, Car Kulture Deluxe, and Rebel Rodz Magazines and am a regular contributor of concert photography for Localspins.com

 

In my spare time, I also seek out Old Commercial and Residential properties to photograph, both Urban & Rural. In 2017 that "free time" hobby lead me book a lot of days working with Realtors in SW Michigan photographing properties for sale.
