About

I am Dallas based Fashion and Sports photographer and a Canon Explorer of Light. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects around the globe, including commercial, sports, fashion, and catalog photoshoots. I currently have a BBA from the University of Oklahoma majoring in Business Management with a Marketing Minor. I also hold a Triple Master degree from WPPI and a Master of Photography from PPA, in addition to winning numerous awards, including a recent first place in the basketball category of World Sports Photography Awards. I have written a book for wedding photographers titled Stylish Weddings, published by Amherst Media and have many cover photos on books and magazines over the years. My work has been commissioned by USA TODAY for portraits of key members of the USA Summer and Winter Olympic Teams, and I’ve had the honor of appearing on the Discovery Channel Show Fast N Loud. I’ve covered major sporting events such as the Winter Olympics in Sochi (2014), the Summer Olympics in Rio (2016), and the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang (2018) for USA TODAY and have also had the opportunity to cover iconic events like Super Bowls, Final Fours, World Series, and National Championship games. Since 2015, I’ve served as the Official Photographer for the College Football Playoff National Championship and lead a team of over 20 photographers and editors each year. Most recently, I became the Director of Photography for LEAF Trading Cards and have over 40 years of experience in the trading card industry.
