Graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in Environmental Design and Architecture; studied sculpture at Kansas City Art Institute; earned certification in secondary education at Avilla College, Kansas City. And, I had the pleasure of attending a workshop in Maine presented by the legendary photographer Norman McGrath.

I'm a registered architect with 20+ years experience, but have been taking photos since my brother and I convinced Dad we wouldn't drop his Argus C-3. I have been doing it professionally since 2003. In addition to my independant work, I was the in-house photographer at Populous (formerly HOK Sport) in Kansas City from 2006 to 09.

And I'm certified to teach high school chemistry - but that's such a long story. . .
