I am a recent immigrant to the San Jose area from the far off land of Youngstown, Ohio. My life has taken me in one direction after another but I still hold on to the dream of one day becoming a free lance sports photographer. I was educated at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh where I had the opportunity to learn a great deal ( but not everything) about photography and stay close to my favorite team....The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins!!!! My free lance work has included event work for the Pens, as well as A2 Arena Football ( briefly) and the now defunct Youngstown Steelhounds of the Central Hockey League.
