I am a full time professional photographer, with several hundred weddings to my credit, as well as a professor of photography and digital imaging at the college level, and have been working as an artist and photographer in the Cleveland area since 1988. I have a BFA in photography from The Cleveland Institiute of Art, where I also studied painting, printmaking, and video.

My original photographs are included in the collection of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and many private collections.
