There is nothing in this world that I love more than taking pictures.

Some days, that means photographing West Virginia University athletics, and others it means being in a sweaty concert pit waiting for a perfect stage moment to capture.

Sometimes it means that I'm scouring the countryside or inner city looking for "beauty", and sometimes it means racing downtown to photograph breaking news in the middle of the night.

No matter the reason, I'm happy behind a lens.

Beyond being a photographer, I'm a writer and designer, an athlete and a coach, and a little-league heart in a grown up body.

I'm a connoisseur of passion, and I love love. Sometimes, I even write about it with a rhythm and a rhyme.

I'm a sports fanatic (Penguins, Pirates, Steelers, Red Bulls (RBNY), Union, WVU), and I'm a lover of all things with a beat.
