I am a visual journalist , a visual communicator, if you will. My career has been diversified, challenging, and above all, FUN! Over the past couple of decades, I have produced advertising photography (with a specialty in food), corporate video productions, photojournalism, and military public affairs (both domestic and overseas).
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Photography at the University of Central Missouri. I teach studio photography (both intro and advanced), digital imaging, advertising, and portfolio. My freelance work is both advertising and editorial assignments. My client roster includes names you may recognize: Tyson Foods, Land O’ Lakes, Bass Pro Shops, Copper Mountain Resort (Colorado), and The Swiss Colony, to mention a few.

Very nice website. As you know, I’ve always been a fan of your work and now it’s easier than ever to stay up-to-date on your efforts. But where are those great shots from your years in the military? Not all of them, of course…

Great to see your new site. How are things going at the new position? I wake up every morning thinking, “I can’t believe how cool my life is,” because of being full time at a real college.
I am basically off for the summer. I have a couple of online classes but this will be the lightest teaching load I have had in almost 9 years.
We are working very hard to make Red Rocks THE place to learn photography in Denver. After years of neglect, the program has a new director and we are starting to get respect from the local high schools. We grew 76% this year (I think. I have to admit I don’t understand “FTE,” which is how they figure our growth).
I have started teaching a lot more video and we are expanding that program as well. I just got $12,000 worth of new toys for and it is going to be great to be able to teach students using state of the art equipment.
Anyway, I will talk to you soon. Send me your current phone number if you get a chance. I would love to catch up.
