After High School, I joined the United States Marine Corps and after my discharge, moved to Bloomington, Indiana. I spent 10 years as a Sales Manager for Terminix International. I enjoyed my time with Terminix and left on good terms.In 1999, I decided to pursue my dream of owning and operating a Sporting Goods store. I opened the store in January 2000 and had an incredible first year. On September 11th, 2001, the world changed. Things changed in the retail world, the economy took a turn for the worse and the Internet changed the way people shopped for sporting goods. We decided to close the store at the end of 2002. Owning a retail store was an interesting experience. It pushed me into the Internet world and I've had a great time over the years working at developing several online businesses. I started, bought and sold several Internet businesses and products from 2000 to 2009. My love and passion for photography started when I was very young. I've been behind a camera or video camera for many years. When I left the Internet business world, I decided to put my photography skills to use and open a photography business. With my love of sports and love of photography, it was a natural transition to join the world of Sports Photography.Currently, I am a freelance photographer, working for several clients and photographing the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA Sports, Boxing, MMA, Tennis, Auto Racing and just about every sport out there. My pictures appear in newspapers and magazines all over the world and on every major sports website.Specialties: Sports Photography, Weddings, Portraits, Commercial, Advertising, Marketing and Event Photography.
