When I’m not out in the field, I can be found in the “Lighting Lab” testing new techniques or practicing with new gear; you never want to practice on assignment. I strive to know my equipment inside and out. As Bob Kotalik, the chief photographer who hired me at The Chicago Sun-Times, said, "Come back with a good picture, or don’t come back at all. We can’t publish an excuse.” I’ve embraced this every time I pick up the camera to take a picture. 

Dawn and I lead photographic workshops worldwide, teaching camera techniques, lighting, workflow, post-production, choosing the right lens and equipment for wildlife. I love seeing those lightbulb moments when people get that once in a lifetime shot.  When we lead photographic safaris in Africa, it’s not about us getting the best image but empowering others and sharing in their excitement as they capture the best photograph of the day. 

My cameras have always been like a passport into history. I am continually honored when doors open and people invite me in to document their life. While at the paper, I covered countless amazing events, such as presidential elections, Michael Jordan's entire career with the Chicago Bulls, every religious faith, and many tent revivals. I've traveled around the world to places such as El Salvador, Taiwan, Lithuania, Romania, Moldova, Kenya, and Uganda for human interest stories. I've even had the pleasure of riding to South Dakota on a Harley with the Hells Henchmen for the 50th Anniversary of Sturgis.  

And Dawn and I are also proud to be members of the SANDISK EXTREME TEAM. SanDisk recognizes this group as distinguished leaders and innovators within the professional community. These select pros are recognized for their decades of global contributions and commitment to excellence.

I am a proud member of the WESTCOTT TOP PRO ELITE, a group of talented photographers from around the world comprised for photographic education and inspiration. Each is a master of his or her own creative specialty. 

My passion for photography began back in high school when I became the editor of the newspaper. I then went on to Columbia College and was named College Photographer of the Year. With this came a full time job at a daily newspaper in Chicago and then on to a full time position for 15 years at the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper.  I have since moved on from the newspaper industry. Today, I have the privilege of photographing the most important events in people's lives and I couldn't be more honored.
