Bio

I’ve been making on-location portraits for editorial and commercial clients since 2001.  I’ve worked for local newsweeklies, trade publications, in-flight magazines and design/marketing firms.  I’m happiest, work-wise, when on assignment for a good photo-editor, exploring some understated or under-appreciated aspect of the Midwestern United States.  Assignments have taken me from Utah to Pennsylvania to Florida and back to Wisconsin again.  

I try to keep his business as “green” as possible. I especially like to work with clients who share my ideas about the importance of sustainability. I operate my business and home in as green a fashion as possible. I’m very happy to work with clients and non-profits who work on socially progressive issues.

I spent 8 years on the board of directors of Local First Milwaukee, 10 years on the board of directors of Artists Working in Education, and has been a volunteer tutor at Literacy Services of WI since 2011. For four years, I organized the monthly MKE Creatives meetup (see the blog here), and for 5 years, organized the twice-yearly MKE Cosplay 5k.

I have also served as the social media manager, for varying lengths of time (6-months to multiple years), for Mike Crivello’s Cameras, A Wealth of Nature, Local First Milwaukee and MKE Cosplay 5k. I managed Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook presences.
