My journey began in the small town of Ionia, Michigan, where the simplicity of rural life ignited my passion for visual storytelling. This passion led me on a globetrotting adventure, from the jungles of Belize to the vibrant markets of Southeast Asia , capturing the essence of diverse cultures and landscapes along the way.
Prior to my career in photography, I honed my skills in sales and entrepreneurship. As a liquor salesman, I mastered the art of persuasion and presentation, skills that later served me well when I founded and managed my own energy consulting company. These experiences not only sharpened my business acumen but also deepened my appreciation for the power of imagery in conveying messages and emotions.
It was during my travels and entrepreneurial pursuits that I discovered my true calling in photography—a medium that allows me to blend artistry with technical precision. Specializing in both real estate and lifestyle photography, I excel in capturing the beauty of spaces and the intimacy of moments.
My dedication to excellence has been recognized through publications in prestigious magazines, gracing book covers that captivate readers, contributing to renowned advertising campaigns such as Pure Michigan at the Detroit airport, and having my images transformed into a stunning wall mural at a bank in Indiana, among many others.
Outside of photography, I enjoy creating music with my band Bad Shaman, where I am singer/songwriter & percussionist. I also find joy in camping and being outdoors with my family, where I draw inspiration from nature’s beauty.
I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and create images that resonate and inspire. Whether you’re in need of real estate photography, fresh lifestyle photos, or some authentic art to hang on your wall, I can help.
