About me…

I am a commercial photographer, composite artist, author, and journalist based in Oklahoma. My creative journey has been featured prominently by esteemed media outlets such as the Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographer Magazine, 405 Magazine, Oklahoma Today Magazine, The Oklahoma Gazette, and various other publications. Additionally, I contribute as a freelance writer and photographer to several magazines in Oklahoma City.

From the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, my early career path took me on a journey around the world as a pilot. However, the call to education beckoned me to a new chapter. Embarking on a transformative journey, I returned to school, dedicating myself to pursuing knowledge and earning a doctorate in education. Nowadays, my role as an educator takes center stage, except when I'm engrossed in the art of photography and writing.

Among my achievements are professional certifications such as a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) and a Certified FAA Part 107 Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operator. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence and innovation in my fields of expertise.

I am deeply committed to education and thrive on guiding others. Through an array of workshops and personal or virtual classes, I delve into subjects ranging from introductory to advanced photography techniques, lighting, and more.

Whether you're an aspiring novice, a seasoned professional in writing or photography, or simply driven by the desire to delve deeper into the world of creative expression, I encourage you to contact me. Let's embark on this journey of exploration and learning together.
