I’m a commercial and editorial portrait photographer and documentary filmmaker based in central Illinois adept at making authentic and relatable storytelling images, listening, collaborating, exploring, discovering and delivering.

I relate easily to real people in real situations and can be counted on to be one of the tallest people in the room, and the one with a positive attitude.

Central Illinois has always been my home (need to know anything about Abraham Lincoln or Route 66?) and I live here with my wife, two cats and four bicycles. Now that our two daughters are on their own, I’m often exploring much of Illinois on one of those bikes, and always with a camera.

I’d like to hear your story and create the images that will convey it to others.
