I served as a Marine in the first Gulf War before earning my B.S. in Visual Communications at Ohio University.
I have received numerous awards for my still photography across the country in Montana, Texas, South Carolina, Ohio and Washington. My photo was chosen as the hard cover of the New York Times best-seller America 24/7 The same photo was also featured as the cover of the country cd RIDE by the band, Trick Pony.
After finishing grad school I have decided not to return to journalism and I am currently working web 2.0 communications and public affairs for the U.S. Army Cadet Command at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State.
