About
I taught Digital photography at First Tech, the computer store and Apple reseller that was on Hennepin, starting in 2000 when digital photography was just becoming popular. I was introduced to photography at a very young age by my brother Craig and also went to work for the local studio photographer at Welke Studio in Spring Valley Minnesota at the age of 14. I won the Twin Cities Best of Citysearch: - Best Photographer Award in 2007. I have a wide range of photographic and Photoshop expertise. I currently produce photos for new and repeat clients. My work has been published in books, websites and magazines. Clients have won the most “photogenic award” in beauty pageants. One of my most famous photos is “Thunderdome” a 1987 lightning storm photo of the Metrodome.
I love the beauty and creativity of photography.
