 As I have aged, my passion for sports married with my photography hobby to create the business I have today.  Photographing great athletes on the big stage is the next best thing to being an elite athlete.  My basic philosophy is to capture top-notch photography while interacting with fans and enhancing the sports experience to the greatest extent possible.  This was illustrated in the following article I wrote for Victory Views.   Click on ARTICLE tab in above menu.  Give customers a reason to do business with you.   

The starting point for working as a sports photographer is a passion for sports.  I grew up watching and playing baseball, basketball, and football.  In high school, I switched over to running cross country and track.  Unfortunately, I wasn't talented enough to get a college scholarship, but after college, I competed in over 250 regional and local running races including the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon, Peachtree 10K, Bowling Green 10K Classic, and Collin Classic 100K Bicycle Ride,   I co-captained the GTE team in the Indianapolis Corporate Challenge, was a local Torch Runner in for 1987 Pan Am Games held in Indianapolis.
