At A Glance

I’ve been photographing for over 15 years, but my journey into photography actually began in the late 90's in front of the camera. An opportunity to model took me out of small town Ohio, to Chicago. Then, around a decade later, I got behind the camera and began photographing wildlife, landscapes, and shelter dogs. 1000s of photos led to friends and social media followers asking me to photograph their wedding, engagement, family, and of course dogs.

How I Got Here

Prior to calling Coastal Delaware home with my girlfriend Jenn & our rescue Pit Bull, Riley, I spent over two decades in Chicago as a real estate broker. After 24 years, we were ready for a change, and I was ready to pursue photography full-time. Being closer to family was the anchor that finally made us pull the trigger.

I Photographed NFL Games

The experience of running up and down the sidelines chasing plays never got old. This Eagles lineman sacking Jay Cutler was a common occurrence. When I photographed Bears games, the next big play was typically from the opposing team. Also, you learn to shoot with one eye open to make sure a 300 pound lineman doesn't take you (and all your gear) out...

I Love to Cook

Relaxing (for both myself and Jenn) is making something delicious with a cocktail or glass of wine. Some of my favorites are Chicken Tikka Masala, Prime Rib, Ramen, Korean Fried Chicken, or anything Mediterranean.

I Photographed for a Book

"A Ruff Road Home: The Court Case Dogs of Chicago", which won a Benjamin Franklin award, is a story of what a Court Case Dog is. A truly inspiring book that I am so proud to have been a part of.

The DODO-Guy Decides To Foster A Very Pregnant Pit Bull Who Needs A Home Now
During the early days of COVID, I fostered a pregnant mama dog named Kaia. Just a week later, she gave birth to seven puppies right in my kitchen — and I documented every moment, from their first breaths to their first wobbly steps. I shared their journey online, and before long, The Dodo reached out. What started as a simple act of fostering turned into a heartwarming story that spread farther than I ever expected. Check it out, you may need a tissue.
