I grew up on the south side of Cleveland in the Parma area. Moved west to Lakewood while I went to St. Ignatius High School in Ohio City, and then I graduated from Kent State University in 1995 with a degree in photojournalism. I currently live in Lakewood with my son Luca, daughter Rio and our dog Whiskey.

As a veteran photojournalist of close to 30 years, I have photographed an extraordinary array of events; The World Series, Presidents Bush and Biden, the Browns, Guardians and Cavaliers, famous musicians, the NBA Finals, natural disasters, nudist colonies, KKK rallies, the lunar eclipse, corporate leaders, your best friend's wedding ... the list goes on and on ... my clients include the following:
