I have been able to achieve over 30 years working as a professional in the photography industry, starting with working with Large-Format View cameras with 8x10 & 4x5" film. I am still just as passionate about photography today as when I started over 30 years ago. I am active in ASMP membership and I also teach advanced camera, lighting & photography techniques at Jefferson Community & Technical College. I like to give back to the community when I can by volunteering with Flashes of Hope. We set up in the local children's hospital to provide portraits for families.
