Professional Photographer with extensive business and engineering experience.

Over the past fifteen years, I have held positions in Aerospace, Scientific Imaging, Purchase Management, Safety Coordination, Sales, Service Management, and for five of the fifteen years, I served as a Robotic Field Service Technician in the Biotech and Pharmaceutical field. 

My technical background began when I served as a Heavy Equipment Engineer in the military.  After my time in the service, I continued to develop my engineering and computer skills by transitioning into the Bio-Robotics field. Working with computers and technical equipment has always been fun, as well as challenging. Perhaps that is why I fell in love with the art of Photography. It was the perfect catalyst to fuse my technical mind with my love for art. 

Running in parallel with my time as an equipment engineer, I have been heavily involved in the exciting world of Photography. In 2013, I graduated Brooks Institute with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Professional Photography. Two of my proudest moments as a Photographer was working for Celebrity Portrait & Fashion Photographer, Mark Seliger out of New York; and two, photographically documenting the construction of satellites for Boeing. In closing, I have been published a number of times on the web and in print. 

Specialties: 360° Virtual Tour Photography, Aerospace Photography, Executive Portraiture, Aviation Photography, Editorial Photography, Digital Editing, High End Retouching, Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, Nikon, Canon, Phase One, Film Photography, Event Photography, Robotic Engineering, Safety, Purchasing Negotiation, most Microsoft Office programs and their Macintosh equivalents.

Photograph private jets for charter companies websites, marketing material, and for aviation brokers selling aircraft.  Shoot and construct high resolution 360° virtual tours of aviation cabins, restaurants and luxury transportation vehicles.  In addition to aviation, I also photograph weddings, private events, portraits and look-books.  Lastly, I perform post production of selected images utilizing Lightroom and Photoshop, and format to clients desired output; such as, print, web, or Drop-Box. 
  
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Over the past fourteen years, I have built a strong reputation as a fun, outgoing, and highly dependable photographer to work with.  All the customers I have generated over the years are based on repeat business and referrals.  In addition to my solid reputation, some of my efforts have been published in magazines, on the web, and in a studio lighting book sold on Amazon.com.
