I am an artist specializing in fine art, wedding, and portrait photography, and creating compelling imagery is my ultimate passion.  I was raised as a dedicated outdoorsman in Missouri, and consequently the photography I create often demonstrates a connection to nature.  As a young adult I moved to the deep south for college.  In 2010 I received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design after studying at the institution’s Savannah, Georgia and Lacoste, France campuses.    In the same year I published Imprint, my first book of photographs, and I continue to grow my list of awards and exhibitions.  I now live with my beautiful wife Cara, who is also my studio manager and second shooter, and our two dogs in Petaluma, California.  Going forward I hope to have a fruitful career as an artist, thinker, and visual translator of any glimmer of beauty I am fortunate enough to capture.
